PART I
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to Umpqua Holdings Corporation as the "Company," "Umpqua," "we," "us," "our," or similar references.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include statements that expressly or implicitly predict future results, performance or events. Statements other
than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "anticipates," "expects,"
"believes," "estimates," "intends" and "forecast" and words or phrases of similar meaning.
We make forward-looking statements about the projected impact on our business operations of the COVID-19 pandemic; Next Gen 2.0 initiatives including store
consolidations, operational improvements, and facilities rationalizations; the sale of Umpqua Investments, Inc.; LIBOR; derivatives and hedging; the results and
performance of models and economic forecasts used in our calculation of the allowance for credit loss; projected sources of funds and the Company's liquidity
position; our securities portfolio; loan sales; adequacy of our allowance for credit losses, including the reserve for unfunded commitments; provision for credit
losses; non-performing loans and future losses; performance of troubled debt restructurings; our commercial real estate portfolio, its collectability and subsequent
charge-offs; resolution of non-accrual loans; PPP forgiveness and SBA fees; the economic environment; litigation; dividends; junior subordinated debentures; fair
values of certain assets and liabilities, including mortgage servicing rights values and sensitivity analyses; tax rates; and the effect of accounting pronouncements
and changes in accounting methodology. Risks that could cause results to differ from forward-looking statements we make are set forth in our filings with the SEC
and include, without limitation: current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing and commercial real estate prices,
high unemployment rates, and any slowdown in economic growth particularly in the western United States; the length and immediate and long-term effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as its impact on general economic and financial market conditions and
demand for our products; economic forecast variables that are either materially worse or better than end of year projections and deterioration in the economy that
exceeds current consensus estimates; our ability to effectively manage problem credits; our ability to successfully implement technology, efficiency and operational
excellence initiatives; our ability to successfully develop and market new products and technology; changes in laws or regulations; our ability to meet the closing
conditions to complete the sale of Umpqua Investments, Inc.; and our ability to successfully negotiate with landlords or reconfigure facilities. We also caution that
the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the
Company, market conditions, capital requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and state and federal banking laws and
regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company's Board of Directors, and will be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. There are many
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include those set
forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from those presented:
• the significant risks and uncertainties for our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios
and other regulatory requirements, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which will depend on several factors, including the scope and duration of the
pandemic, its influence on the economy and financial markets, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements and staffing levels in operational
facilities, challenges associated with our return to office plans such as maintaining a safe office environment and integrating at-home and in-office staff,
the impact of market participants on which we rely and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic
and the impact of lower equity market valuations on our service and management fee revenue;
• continued deterioration in economic conditions that could result in increased loan and lease losses, especially those risks associated with concentrations
in real estate related loans;
• our ability to successfully implement and sustain information technology product and system enhancements and operational initiatives;

Business Strategy
Umpqua Bank's primary objective is to become the leading community-oriented financial services organization throughout the Western United States. We intend to
increase market share, grow our assets and increase profitability and total shareholder return by differentiating ourselves from competitors through the following
strategies:
Deliver on Corporate Strategic Objectives. The Company's 3-year (2018-2020) corporate strategic objectives branded as "Umpqua Next Gen" were designed to
modernize the company, diversify and increase revenue, optimize processes and improve efficiency. Umpqua Next Gen builds on our customer-centric approach to
banking, allowing us to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace and create a competitive advantage. The three pillars of Umpqua Next Gen include: Balanced
Growth, Human Digital, and Operational Excellence. In late 2020, Umpqua launched "Next Gen 2.0" which further expands these objectives.
•
•
•
Through Our Balanced Growth Initiatives, We Focus on Banking Full Customer Relationships. The Company has invested in broader product suites to
meet the needs of customers across the spectrum of our business lines. We believe that Umpqua has the products and associate expertise necessary to
support current and prospective customers. We believe we can bring the highest value to customers when internal lines of business work collaboratively to
serve customers and exceed expectations. Umpqua's value proposition is to combine the product offerings of many larger competitors but deliver with a
highly focused, customer centric approach. The importance of Balanced Growth initiatives have been embedded in modernizing our internal referral and
goal-driven incentive plans to reward collaborative behavior and growth across product categories.
Use A Human Digital Banking Approach to Retain and Expand Customer Base. As customer preferences and behaviors evolve with technological
adoption, our strategy remains consistent: deliver an extraordinary experience across all customer touchpoints. As a result, we have developed our Human
Digital banking approach, which uses technology to empower deeper, even more meaningful relationships with our customers across all lines of business.
We believe this differentiates Umpqua and positions the Company well to adapt quickly as customer use of physical and digital channels evolves. Our
innovative store concept remains a differentiator in this Human Digital approach as the combination of digital banking services, through platforms like
Umpqua Go-To® and commercial focused applications. Our Human Digital approach enhances our ability to attract a broader range of customers and
expand our value proposition across all channels.
Become A More Efficient and Effective Company Through Operational Excellence Programs. The objectives of the operational excellence programs are
to reduce redundancies, simplify processes, and ultimately bring associates closer to the customer. Umpqua has redesigned several key processes,
including our commercial loan delivery and our deposit origination processes since the beginning of Umpqua Next Gen. In addition to combining similar
functions throughout the Company, we have also simplified our supplier and vendor relationships by consolidating spend to key strategic partners.
Establish Strong Brand Awareness. We devote considerable resources to developing the "Umpqua Bank" brand through design strategy, marketing, and delivery
through our customer-facing channels, as well as through active public relations, social media and community-based events and initiatives. Umpqua's goal is to
connect with our customers and communities in fresh and engaging ways. The unique look and feel of our stores and interactive displays help demonstrate our
commitment to being an innovative, customer-friendly provider of financial products and services, and our active community engagement and investments stand
out with commercial customers. Our brand activation approach is based on actions, not just advertising, and builds strong consumer awareness of our products and
services.
Prudently Manage Capital. An important part of our strategy is to continue to manage capital prudently, and to employ excess capital in a thoughtful and
opportunistic manner that improves long-term shareholder returns. We accomplish this through organic growth and a top quartile dividend payout ratio for regional
banks. We also opportunistically pursue strategic acquisitions, which could include technology-driven enterprises or banks and financial services companies in
markets or lines of business where we see growth potential.

Table of Contents
Growth Culture. We believe strongly that by investing in the professional growth of our associates and supporting the economic growth of our communities, we
will create more opportunity to provide our products and services and to create deeper customer relationships across all divisions, from retail to mortgage and
wholesale. Although a successful marketing program will attract customers to visit, well-trained and experienced associates are critical to solving customer needs
with the right products and services.
Products and Services
We offer an array of financial products, delivered through traditional and digital channels, to meet the banking needs of our market area and target customers. To
ensure the ongoing viability of our product offerings, we regularly examine the desirability and profitability of existing and potential new products. Our customers
can access our products through online banking, mobile banking applications, including Umpqua Go-To® app, and Umpquabank.com.
Commercial Loans and Leases and Commercial Real Estate Loans. We offer specialized loans for corporate and commercial customers, including accounts
receivable and inventory financing, multifamily loans, equipment loans, commercial equipment leases, international trade finance, real estate construction loans
and permanent financing and Small Business Administration program financing as well as capital markets and treasury management services.
Treasury Management. As Umpqua focuses on banking the full customer relationship and meeting the needs of customers of all sizes, we offer treasury
management products to our customers through our Global Payments & Deposits group. These products include ACH, wires, positive pay, remote deposit capture,
integrated payables, commercial card, and foreign exchange related products. We also offer merchant services in coordination with a strategic partner, Worldpay.
Deposit Products. We offer deposit products, including non-interest bearing checking accounts, interest bearing checking and savings accounts, money market
accounts and certificates of deposit. Interest-bearing accounts earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and
management's desire to increase certain types or maturities of deposit liabilities. Our approach is to provide a streamlined customer experience that meets the
customer's needs across all channels. This approach is designed to add value for the customer, increase products per household and generate related fee income.
Wealth Management. Through Umpqua's Private Bank, we serve high net worth individuals and families, and select non-profits and professional services firms,
providing deposit, lending, and financial planning solutions. The Private Bank is designed to expand on Umpqua's existing high-touch customer experience and
works collaboratively with other internal departments to offer a comprehensive, integrated approach designed to meet clients' financial needs.
Residential Real Estate Loans. Real estate loans are available for the construction, purchase, and refinancing of residential owner-occupied and rental properties.
Borrowers can choose from a variety of fixed and adjustable rate options and terms. We sell most residential real estate loans that we originate into the secondary
market. Servicing is retained on the majority of these loans.
Consumer Loans. We provide loans to individual borrowers for a variety of purposes, including secured and unsecured personal loans, home equity and personal
lines of credit and motor vehicle loans.
Market Area and Competition
The geographic markets we serve are highly competitive for deposits, loans, leases and retail brokerage services. We compete with traditional banking institutions,
as well as non-bank financial service providers, such as credit unions, brokerage firms, mortgage companies, and online based financial service providers. In our
primary market areas of Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada, major national banks generally hold top market share positions. Competition also
includes small community banks that operate in a concentrated area within our footprint and other regional banks that focus on commercial and retail banking.
As the industry becomes increasingly oriented toward technology-driven delivery systems, permitting transactions to be conducted on mobile devices and
computers, non-bank institutions are able to attract customers and provide lending and other financial services even without offices located in our primary service
area. Some insurance companies and brokerage firms compete for deposits by offering rates that are higher than the weighted average market price and may be
inappropriate for the Bank in relation to its asset and liability management objectives.
8
Table of Contents
Credit unions present a significant competitive challenge for our banking services and products. As credit unions currently enjoy an exemption from income tax,
they are able to offer higher deposit rates and lower loan rates than banks can on a comparable basis. Credit unions are also not currently subject to certain
regulatory constraints, such as the Community Reinvestment Act, which, among other things, requires us to implement procedures to make and monitor loans
throughout the communities we serve. Adhering to such regulatory requirements raises the costs associated with our lending activities and reduces potential
operating profits. Accordingly, we seek to compete by focusing on building customer relationships, providing superior service and offering a wide variety of
commercial banking products.
The following tables present the Bank's market share percentage for total deposits as of June 30, 2020, in each county where we have operations. The table also
indicates the ranking by deposit size in each market. All information in the table was obtained from S&P Global, which compiles deposit data published by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of June 30, 2020 and updates the information for any bank mergers and acquisitions completed subsequent to the
reporting date.

employed a total of 3,920 employees, 87% of which were full-time associates. Our workforce is comprised of customer-facing associates across our various
business lines, as well as professionals in various support functions that enable the business. Approximately 28% of our workforce was comprised of frontline retail
store associates, nearly 17% were in our Home Lending division, 22% were in our wholesale businesses, and the remaining 33% were in support functions such as
technology, finance, risk, audit, and human resources.
Employee Health and Safety. As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in early 2020, as a threat to health and safety of our workforce, we moved most of our non-
store workforce to remote operations. We were well-positioned from a technology standpoint to make this pivot and continued to be productive as our teams shifted
to a remote work environment. Over time, and after putting in place appropriate safety measures, we migrated back designated functions and departments that
operate most effectively in an on-site work arrangement. As of December 31, 2020, 60% of our workforce continues to work either fully remotely, or with only
intermittent on-site access up to a few hours a week.
Because our business is considered an essential service vital to our communities, keeping our stores operational while protecting our associates and our customers
was of critical importance. For those associates working on-site, we established several safety protocols, including occupancy limits and controls, physical
distancing requirements and barriers, daily personal health attestation, enhanced cleaning, and required face coverings. These practices applied as well to the non-
store associates working at or visiting Umpqua locations.
In support of our associates, we established a pandemic pay program to provide supplemental assistance to associates who needed to take time away from work for
COVID-related illness, suspected illness, quarantine, or for childcare issues due to school closure. As of December 31, 2020, nearly 20% of our associates have
utilized this program.
Associate Experience. Our workforce decreased by 5% during 2020, which was driven primarily by natural attrition. We did not have any significant reduction-in-
force activities that were pandemic-related, or otherwise. Turnover rate, as calculated in our payroll system, in 2020 was 20%, and of this, 17% was voluntary.
We attract and reward our associates by providing market competitive compensation and benefit practices. Our compensation approach is designed to pay for
performance and reward associate contributions. Each position has an established compensation range and associates have the opportunity to earn at the high end of
their respective range for top performance. Our salary structure is informed by market data, and recognizing that the compensation environment is dynamic, we
review and adjust our pay ranges regularly. This includes an ongoing practice of analyzing pay equity. In addition, many positions have incentive plans to
encourage achievement of various corporate, business unit, and individual goals.
We offer competitive medical, dental, vision, life, short and long-term disability, and accident insurance, in addition to paid time off for vacation, sick time, and
volunteerism. These programs are available to associates working 20 hours per week or more and are assessed regularly against market benchmarks.
On a regular basis, we conduct an associate engagement survey to gain insights into associate sentiment about various aspects of the associate experience. This
feedback is used to assess the effectiveness of our people practices and prioritize enhancements to our programs.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Umpqua Bank embraces the opportunity to foster a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our associates, customers, and
communities. With the adoption of a comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan in 2020, our ongoing key focus areas will be connected to values
integration, community engagement, being an employer of choice. We have accelerated the rollout of intensive internal training, which began in 2020 and will
continue in 2021. Additionally, we have continued to expand programs that support an inclusive work environment, such as our Associate Resource Groups, which
are open to all associates, and focus on gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability or veteran status.
Recently, we launched a new Inclusion Council that will, in partnership with our Diversity Council, identify opportunities for further internal operational
improvements. They will also identify ways to deepen our commitment to drive economic opportunity in communities of color through our community
engagement programs. One illustration of our commitment at the most senior level is in the diverse make-up of our Board of Directors—chaired by a woman and
including four women and three people of color.

Information about our Executive Officers
Information regarding employment agreements with our executive officers is contained in Item 11 below, which item is incorporated by reference to our proxy
statement for the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders.
Government Policies
The operations of the Company and our subsidiaries are affected by state and federal legislative and regulatory changes and by policies of various regulatory
authorities, including, domestic monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, United States fiscal policy, and capital adequacy and
liquidity constraints imposed by federal and state regulatory agencies.
Supervision and Regulation
General. We are extensively regulated under federal and state law. These laws and regulations are generally intended to protect depositors and customers, not
shareholders. To the extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular
statute or regulation. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on our business and prospects. We cannot accurately predict the
nature or the extent of the effects on our business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, or new federal or state legislation or regulation may have in the
future. Umpqua is subject to the disclosure and other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and rules promulgated thereunder and administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a listed company on NASDAQ, Umpqua is subject
to NASDAQ rules for listed companies.
The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have adopted non-capital safety and soundness standards for financial institutions. These standards cover internal controls,
information and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, and
standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution that fails to meet these standards must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying
the steps that it will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions.
Holding Company Regulation. We are a bank holding company registered as a financial holding company under the GLB Act, and are subject to the supervision of,
and regulation by the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company, we are examined by and file reports with the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve expects a
bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary bank and, under appropriate circumstances, to commit resources to
support the subsidiary bank.
Financial holding companies are bank holding companies that satisfy certain criteria and are permitted to engage in activities that traditional bank holding
companies are not. The qualifications and permitted activities of financial holdings companies are described below under "Regulatory Structure of the Financial
Services Industry."
Federal and State Bank Regulation. Umpqua Bank, as a state chartered bank with deposits insured by the FDIC, is primarily subject to the supervision and
regulation of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services Division of Financial Regulation, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions,
the California Department of Business Oversight, the Idaho Department of Finance Banking Section, the Nevada Division of Financial Institutions, the FDIC and
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Our primary state regulator, DCBS, regularly examines the Bank or participates in joint examinations with the FDIC;
these agencies may prohibit the Bank from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. Umpqua Bank has a responsibility under the CRA, as implemented by FDIC regulations, to help meet the
credit needs of its communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for
financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular
community, consistent with the CRA. The FDIC assesses Umpqua Bank's record of compliance with the CRA through periodic examinations.
In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit discrimination in lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those
statutes. Umpqua Bank's failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions against it by the
FDIC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies, including the CFPB and the Department of Justice.

CRA performance is considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or new facility. Umpqua Bank's failure to comply with the
provisions of the CRA could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities and the activities of Umpqua potentially resulting in the suspension of
any growth of the Bank through acquisitions or opening de novo branches until the rating is improved.
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued a memorandum to the federal banking regulators with recommended changes to the CRA's implementing
regulations to reduce their complexity and associated burden on banks. In 2019, the FDIC and the OCC jointly proposed rules that would significantly change
existing CRA regulations. The proposed rules are intended to increase bank activity in low- and moderate-income communities where there is significant need for
credit, more responsible lending, greater access to banking services, and improvements to critical infrastructure. The proposals change four key areas: (i) clarifying
what activities qualify for CRA credit; (ii) updating where activities count for CRA credit; (iii) providing a more transparent and objective method for measuring
CRA performance; and (iv) revising CRA-related data collection, record keeping, and reporting. However, the Federal Reserve Board did not join in that proposed
rulemaking. In May 2020, the OCC issued its final CRA rule, effective October 1, 2020. The FDIC has not finalized the revisions to its CRA rule. In September
2020, the Federal Reserve issued its own CRA proposal to modernize the regulations that implement the CRA by strengthening, clarifying, and tailoring them to
reflect the current banking landscape and better meet the core purpose of the CRA. We will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the regulations
implementing CRA. As of the most recent CRA examination, the Bank's CRA rating was "Satisfactory".
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Banks are subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers,
directors, principal shareholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions of credit must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not
affiliated with the bank, and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to lending limits
and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of civil monetary penalties on the affected bank or any
officer, director, employee, agent or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of that bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other
regulatory sanctions.
The Federal Reserve Act and related Regulation W limit the amount of certain loan and investment transactions between the Bank and its affiliates, require certain
levels of collateral for such loans, and limit the amount of advances to third parties that may be collateralized by the securities of Umpqua or its subsidiaries.
Regulation W requires that certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving nonaffiliated companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms and under
circumstances, including credit standards, that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Umpqua and its subsidiaries have
adopted an Affiliate Transactions Policy and have entered into various affiliate agreements designed to comply with Regulation W.
Privacy. Federal and state laws designed to protect individual privacy limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information
about consumers to affiliated companies and non-affiliated third parties, and impose other obligations on personal information collected by us. These rules require
disclosure of privacy policies to clients and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to affiliates or non-
affiliated third parties by means of opt-out or opt-in authorizations. Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and certain state laws, companies are required to
notify clients of security breaches resulting in unauthorized access to their personal information. In connection with the regulations governing the privacy of
consumer financial information, the federal banking agencies have also adopted guidelines for establishing information security standards and programs to protect
such information.
States are also increasingly proposing or enacting legislation that relates to data privacy and data protection such as the California Consumer Privacy Act which
went into effect on January 1, 2020. We expect this trend of state-level activity in these areas to continue and are continually monitoring developments in the states
in which our customers are located.
Federal Deposit Insurance. Substantially all deposits with Umpqua Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC and are
subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. The standard maximum federal deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per qualified account.
13
Table of Contents
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if it determines that the institution has engaged in or is engaging in unsafe and
unsound banking practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has violated any applicable law, regulation or order or any condition imposed in writing by, or
pursuant to, any written agreement with the FDIC. The termination of deposit insurance for the Bank would have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Dividends. Under the Oregon Bank Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, the Bank is subject to restrictions on the
payment of cash dividends to its parent company and may be required to receive prior approval in certain circumstances. In addition, state and federal regulatory
authorities are authorized to prohibit banks and holding companies from paying dividends that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Federal
Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve's view that a bank
holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that its net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of
earnings retention that is consistent with the holding company's capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition.
As a result of the goodwill impairment taken in the first quarter of 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit and is required to notify the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System prior to declaring and paying a cash dividend to our shareholders and may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects. Additionally, the
Company is required to seek FDIC and Oregon Division of Financial Regulation approval for quarterly dividends from Umpqua Bank to the Company.
Capital Adequacy. The federal and state bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation of holding companies and
banks. If capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, a holding company or a bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open new facilities.
The FDIC and Federal Reserve have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for holding companies and banks. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make
regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among holding companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to
minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weightings. The
resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The capital adequacy guidelines limit the degree
to which a holding company or bank may leverage its equity capital.
The Company and the Bank are each required to comply with applicable capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve, which are based on the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to the Basel capital framework.
The Basel III final rules, among other things, include the common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio, including a capital conservation buffer of
2.5%. The required CET1 ratio is a minimum of 7%. The minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.5%, and the minimum leverage ratio is 5.0%.
Under Basel III, the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive items are not excluded; however, the Company and the Bank, have made a one-time
permanent election to continue to exclude these items in order to avoid significant variations in the level of capital depending upon the impact of interest rate
fluctuations on the fair value of the Company's securities portfolio.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement actions. An institution's failure to exceed the capital conservation
buffer with common equity Tier 1 capital would result in limitations on an institution's ability to make capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.
FDICIA requires federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to a capital-deficient institution, including requiring a capital restoration
plan and restricting certain growth activities of the institution. Umpqua could be required to guarantee any such capital restoration plan required of the Bank if the
Bank became undercapitalized. Pursuant to FDICIA, regulations were adopted defining five capital levels: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, severely undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Under the regulations, the Bank is considered "well capitalized" as of December 31,
2020.

Table of Contents
In July 2019, the OCC, the FRB, and the FDIC issued a final rule intended to simplify aspects of the regulatory capital rules for banking organizations, such as
Umpqua, that are not advanced approaches banking organizations. The final rule includes amendments to the capital treatment of mortgage servicing assets, certain
deferred tax assets, investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions, and minority interests. These amendments were effective for
Umpqua as of January 1, 2020. Pursuant to a final rule issued in July 2019, the transition provisions that were previously frozen have been replaced with new
permanent rules effective in April 2020. Additionally, on March 27, 2020, federal bank regulatory agencies announced an interim final rule that allows banks that
have implemented the current expected credit losses standard the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a
three-year transition period. For purposes of calculating regulatory capital, the Company has elected to defer recognition of the estimated impact of CECL on
regulatory capital for two years in accordance with the interim final rule adopted by federal bank regulatory agencies on March 27, 2020. Pursuant to the interim
final rule, the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital will be phased in over a three-year period beginning in 2022.
Federal and State Regulation of Broker-Dealers. Umpqua Investments is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, as well as the SEC, and has
customer funds, excluding decline in value of securities, insured through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation as well as third party insurers. FINRA and
the SEC perform regular examinations of Umpqua Investments that include reviews of policies, procedures, recordkeeping, trade practices, and customer protection
as well as other inquiries.
Effects of Government Monetary Policy. Our earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary
policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policy for such purposes as curbing
inflation and combating recession, through its open market operations in U.S. Government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the
Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits. These activities influence growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and
also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on us cannot be
predicted with certainty.
In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on economic activity in the near term and the risk it poses to the economic outlook, the Federal
Open Market Committee lowered the target range for the federal funds rate 150 basis points to 0.00% to 0.25%. At its September 2020 meeting the FOMC noted it
expects to maintain an accommodating stance of monetary policy until the outcomes of employment and inflation targets over the longer run is achieved.
Regulation of the Financial Services Industry. Federal laws and regulations governing banking and financial services underwent significant changes in recent years
and we believe will continue to undergo significant changes in the future. From time to time, legislation is introduced in the United States Congress that contains
proposals for altering the structure, regulation, and competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions. If enacted into law, these proposals could increase
or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, and other
financial institutions. Whether or in what form any such legislation may be adopted or the extent to which our business might be affected thereby cannot be
predicted.
The GLB Act, enacted in November 1999, repealed sections of the Banking Act of 1933, commonly referred to as the Glass-Steagall Act, that prohibited banks
from engaging in securities activities, and prohibited securities firms from engaging in banking. The GLB Act created a new form of holding company, known as a
financial holding company, that is permitted to acquire subsidiaries that are engaged in banking, securities underwriting and dealing, and insurance underwriting.
To qualify as a financial holding company, the bank holding company must be deemed to be well-capitalized and well-managed, as those terms are used by the
Federal Reserve. In addition, each subsidiary bank of a bank holding company must also be well-capitalized and well-managed and be rated at least "satisfactory"
under the CRA. A bank holding company that does not qualify, or has not chosen, to become a financial holding company must limit its activities to traditional
banking activities and those non-banking activities the Federal Reserve has deemed to be permissible because they are closely related to the business of banking.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 permits interstate banking and branching, which allows banks to expand nationwide
through acquisition, consolidation or merger. Under this law, an adequately capitalized bank holding company may acquire banks in any state or merge banks
across state lines if permitted by state law. Further, banks may establish and operate branches in any state subject to the restrictions of applicable state law. Under
Oregon law, an out-of-state bank or bank holding company may merge with or acquire an Oregon state chartered bank or bank holding company upon receipt of
approval from the Director of the DCBS. The Bank has the ability to open additional de novo branches in the states of Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and
Nevada.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act eliminated interstate branching restrictions that were implemented as part of the Riegle-Neal
Act, and removed many restrictions on de novo interstate branching by national and state-chartered banks. The FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency have authority to approve applications by insured state non-member banks and national banks, respectively, to establish de novo branches in states other
than the bank's home state if the law of the state in which the branch is located, or is to be located, would permit establishment of the branch, if the bank were a
state bank chartered by such State.
Anti-Terrorism Legislation. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act prohibits
banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks, as well as imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening and holding accounts
for foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals. Banks are also required to have effective compliance processes in place relating to anti-money
laundering compliance, as well as compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act.
The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was a sweeping overhaul of financial industry regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act created the Financial Stability Oversight
Council and permanently raised the FDIC deposit insurance coverage to $250,000. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act added additional requirements on Banks and
their regulators, including additional interchange fee limits, mortgage limit requirements, and say-on-pay executive compensation requirements.
Stress Testing and Capital Planning. Initially, Umpqua was subject to annual Dodd-Frank Act capital stress testing requirements of the Federal Reserve and the
FDIC. As part of the DFAST process, Umpqua was required to submit the results of the company-run stress tests to the FDIC, and Umpqua disclosed certain
results from stress testing exercises. However, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, modified provisions of the Dodd-Frank
Act that changed Umpqua's requirements. Umpqua internally monitors and stress tests its capital consistent with the safety and soundness expectations of its
regulators.
CFPB Regulation and Supervision. The CFPB has authority to examine Umpqua and Umpqua Bank for compliance with a broad range of federal consumer
financial laws and regulations, including the laws and regulations that relate to credit card, deposit, mortgage and other consumer financial products and services
the Bank offers. The CFPB is authorized to issue regulations and take enforcement actions to prevent and remedy acts and practices relating to consumer financial
products and services that it deems to be unfair, deceptive or abusive. The agency also has authority to impose new disclosure requirements for any consumer
financial product or service. In addition, the CFPB's regulations require lenders to conduct a reasonable and good faith determination at or before consummation of
a residential mortgage loan that the borrower will have a reasonable ability to repay the loan.
Joint Agency Guidance on Incentive Compensation. Federal banking regulators joint agency guidance applies to executive and non-executive incentive
compensation plans administered by banks. The guidance says that incentive compensation programs must:
• Provide employees incentives that appropriately balance risk and reward;
• Be compatible with effective controls and risk- management; and
• Be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the board.
The Federal Reserve reviews, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of the Company and other banking
organizations. The findings of the supervisory initiatives are included in reports of examination and any deficiencies will be incorporated into the Company's
supervisory ratings, which can affect the Company's ability to make acquisitions and take other actions.

Regulatory Developments Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The U.S. Congress, the FRB and U.S. state and federal regulatory agencies have taken actions to mitigate disruptions to economic activity and financial stability
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The descriptions below summarize certain significant government actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CARES Act. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and has subsequently been amended. Among
other provisions, the CARES Act includes relief from certain U.S. GAAP requirements to allow COVID-19-related loan modifications to not be categorized as
TDR loans as well as a range of incentives to encourage deferment, forbearance or modification of consumer credit and mortgage contracts. In addition to the
CARES Act, bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance indicating that a lender could conclude that the modifications under section 4013 of the CARES
Act or the interagency guidance are not a TDR if certain criteria are met. The guidance also provides that loans generally will not be adversely classified if the
short-term modification is related to COVID-19 relief programs. The Company has followed the guidance under the CARES Act, interagency guidance and state
programs related to these loan modifications
The CARES Act also focused on economic stabilization and relief to severely distressed businesses with the Paycheck Protection Program, administered by the
SBA, which provided loans for eligible small businesses for payroll obligations, emergency grants to cover immediate operating costs, and a mechanism for loan
forgiveness.
The CARES Act contains additional protections for homeowners and renters of properties with federally-backed mortgages, including a 60-day moratorium on the
initiation of foreclosure proceedings and a 120-day moratorium on initiating eviction proceedings. Borrowers of federally-backed mortgages have the right under
the CARES Act to request up to 360 days of forbearance on their mortgage payments if they experience financial hardship directly or indirectly due to COVID-19
pandemic. The Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have independently extended their moratorium on foreclosures and evictions for
single-family federally backed mortgages as well.
Also pursuant to the CARES Act, the U.S. Treasury has the authority to provide loans, guarantees and other investments in support of eligible businesses, states
and municipalities impacted by the economic effects of COVID-19.
In late December 2020, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act rebooted the PPP with many of the same parameters as the
first program but with some important differences. Those changes include the ability for businesses that previously received a PPP loan to be eligible for a second-
draw PPP loan, provided they meet the certain criteria. The Act also opened up first-draw PPP loans to additional companies and set aside funds for new and
smaller borrowers, low and moderate income borrowers and for community and small lenders. It also allowed additional costs to be eligible for loan forgiveness
and PPP borrowers will have to spend no less than 60% of the funds on payroll over a covered period.
FRB Actions. The FRB has taken a range of actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses including reducing the target fed funds rate and
maintaining an accommodating stance on monetary policy. The FRB also announced that it would increase its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency
mortgage-backed securities and begin purchasing agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The FRB has also encouraged depository institutions to borrow
from the discount window and has lowered the primary credit rate for such borrowings by 150 basis points while extending the term of such loans up to 90 days.
Reserve requirements have been reduced to zero as of March 26, 2020.
In addition, the FRB has established, a range of facilities and programs to support the U.S. economy and U.S. marketplace participants in response to economic
disruptions associated with COVID-19. Through these facilities and programs, the FRB has taken steps to directly or indirectly purchase assets from, or make loans
to, U.S. companies, financial institutions, municipalities and other market participants. The FRB established the Payroll Protection Program Liquidity Facility.
Under the PPLF, the Bank can obtain financing for PPP loans by pledging them to the FRB. We also have the ability to increase our borrowing capacity at the
Federal Home Loan Bank by pledging the PPP loans.
Additional legislative and regulatory action may be proposed and could include requirements that could significantly impact our business practices. The impact of
these legislative and regulatory initiatives on us, the economy and the U.S. consumer will depend upon a wide variety of factors some of which are yet to be
identified.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below. These factors could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and the value of, and return on, an investment in the Company. These factors
could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
An investment in the Company involves risk, including the possibility that the value of the investment could fall substantially and that dividends on the investment
could be reduced or eliminated.
COVID-19 RISK
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the
pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the economy, changed customer behaviors, disrupted supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created
significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. The pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses
and the institution of social distancing and stay at home/sheltering in place requirements in the states and communities we serve. As a result, the demand for our
products and services may be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect our revenue. The pandemic could continue to result in the recognition of credit
losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed, unemployment levels continue to rise or
regional economic conditions worsen. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively,
including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. In response to the pandemic, we have initiated
relief programs designed to support our customers and communities including payment deferral programs, deferral-related and other fee waivers, suspended
residential property foreclosure sales, and other expanded assistance for customers. Future governmental actions may require additional types of customer-related
responses that could negatively impact our financial results. We could be required to take capital actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including
reducing dividends and eliminating stock repurchases. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, and
financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
including the scope and duration of the pandemic; actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic; the effect on our
customers, counterparties, employees and third party service providers; and the effect on economies and markets. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic
continues to adversely affect our business and financial performance, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks.
CREDIT RISK
The majority of our assets are loans, which if not repaid would result in losses to the Bank.
The Bank and its operating subsidiary are subject to credit risk, which is the risk of losing principal or interest due to borrowers' failure to repay loans or leases in
accordance with their terms. Underwriting and documentation controls cannot mitigate all credit risk. A downturn in the economy or the real estate market in our
market areas or a rapid increase in interest rates could have a negative effect on collateral values and borrowers' ability to repay. To the extent loans are not paid
timely by borrowers, the loans are placed on non-accrual status, thereby reducing interest income. Further, under these circumstances, an additional provision for
loan and lease losses or unfunded commitments may be required. Risk of borrower default may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to detect or
foresee.
18
Table of Contents
We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense, that
represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of the loan or lease within the existing portfolio of loans and leases. The
allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for current expected credit losses and risks in the loan and
lease portfolio. The level of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is an estimate that reflects management's consideration of relevant available
information, including historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The determination of the appropriate level of
the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current
expected credit risks using existing qualitative and quantitative information, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting
borrowers, new information regarding existing loans and leases, identification of additional problem loans and leases, and other factors, both within and outside of
our control, may require an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.
In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases and may require an increase in the provision for credit
losses or the recognition of additional loan charge offs, based on judgments different than those of management. An increase in the allowance for credit losses on
loans and leases would result in a decrease in net income, and possibly risk-based capital, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
We are subject to lending concentration risks.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 76% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial and industrial, real estate construction, commercial real estate loans,
and lease financing. Commercial loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than residential mortgage loans or other consumer loans. Also,
the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that for residential mortgage loans and other consumer loans, implying higher potential losses on
an individual loan basis. Because our loan portfolio contains a number of commercial loans with balances over $20 million, the deterioration of one or a few of
these loans could cause a significant increase in nonaccrual loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Deterioration in the real estate market or other segments of our loan portfolio would lead to additional losses, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 71% of our total loan portfolio is secured by real estate, the majority of which is commercial real estate located in the five
Western states in our footprint. Our success depends in part on economic conditions in the western United States and adverse changes in markets where our real
estate collateral is located could adversely affect our business. Increases in delinquency rates or declines in real estate market values would require increased net
charge-offs and increases in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations and prospects.

The new credit loss accounting standard may create volatility in our provision for credit losses and could have a material impact on our financial condition or
results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standard Board's accounting standard, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments," which replaced the long-standing incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses with an expected loss model referred to as the CECL model.
Under the CECL model, we are required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt
securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including
historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement takes
place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the incurred loss model, which
delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred. The CECL model may create more volatility in the level of our allowance for credit losses on
loans and leases. The new CECL standard became effective for us for fiscal year 2020 and for interim periods in 2020. We recognized a one-time cumulative-effect
adjustment to our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as of January 1, 2020. We expect to incur ongoing costs in maintaining the additional CECL
models and methodology along with acquiring forecasts used within the models, and that the methodology will result in increased capital costs. The CECL process
involves significant management judgment in determining the overall adequacy of the ACL. Management considers various qualitative factors including changes
within the portfolio, changes to Bank policies and processes, as well as external factors, which may result in qualitative overlays to the model results.
MARKET AND INTEREST RATE RISK
Difficult or volatile market conditions or weak economic conditions may adversely affect our business.
Our business and financial performance are vulnerable to weak economic conditions, primarily in the United States and especially in the western United States. A
deterioration in economic conditions in our primary market areas could result in the following consequences, any of which could materially and adversely affect
our business: increased loan delinquencies; problem assets and foreclosures; significant write-downs of asset values; volatile financial markets; lower demand for
our products and services; reduced low cost or noninterest bearing deposits; intangible asset impairment; and collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate,
may decline in value, in turn reducing customers' borrowing power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with our existing loans. Additional
issues surrounding weakening economic conditions and volatile markets that could adversely impact us include:
• Increased regulation of our industry, and resulting increased costs associated with regulatory compliance and potential limits on our ability to pursue
business opportunities.
• Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of our customers may be impaired if the models and approaches we use to select, manage, and underwrite our
customers become less predictive of future performance.
• The process we use to estimate current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio requires difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, including
forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, which may no
longer be capable of accurate estimation and may, in turn, impact its reliability.
• Downward pressure on our stock price.
A rapid change in interest rates, or maintenance of rates at historically high or low levels for an extended period, could make it difficult to improve or maintain
our current interest income spread and could result in reduced earnings.
Our earnings are largely derived from net interest income, which is interest income and fees earned on loans and investments, less interest paid on deposits and
other borrowings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of our management, including general economic conditions and the
policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. The actions of the Federal Reserve influence the rates of interest that we charge on loans and pay on
borrowings and interest-bearing deposits. We cannot predict the nature or timing of future changes in monetary, tax and other policies or the effects that they may
have on our activities and financial results.
20
Table of Contents
As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. With fixed rate assets (such as fixed rate loans and most investment securities) and liabilities (such as
certificates of deposit), the effect on net interest income depends on the cash flows associated with the maturity of the asset or liability. Asset/liability management
policies may not be successfully implemented and from time to time our risk position is not balanced. An unanticipated rapid decrease or increase in interest rates
could have an adverse effect on the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore on the level of net
interest income. For instance, any rapid increase in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of fixed
rate loans and longer-term investments. Historically low rates for an extended period of time result in reduced returns from the investment and loan portfolios. The
current low interest rate environment could affect consumer and business behavior in ways that are adverse to us and negatively impact our ability to increase our
net interest income. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth than previously experienced.
Shorter-term and longer-term interest rates remain below historical averages, as well as the yield curve, which has been relatively flat. A flat yield curve combined
with low interest rates generally leads to lower revenue and reduced margins because it tends to limit our ability to increase the spread between asset yields and
funding costs. Sustained periods of time with a flat yield curve coupled with low interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and our net
interest margin.
Interest rate volatility and credit risk adjusted rate spreads may impact our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Our investment portfolio consists of $733.3 million of collateralized mortgage obligations, the nature of these securities is such that changes in market interest rates
impact the value of the assets. The widening of the credit risk adjusted rate spreads on potential new issuances of junior subordinated debentures above our
contractual spreads and reductions in three-month LIBOR rates have contributed to the cumulative positive fair value adjustment in our junior subordinated
debentures carried at fair value. Tightening of these credit risk adjusted rate spreads and interest rate volatility may result in recognizing negative fair value
adjustments in the future.
It is possible the Company may accelerate redemption of the existing junior subordinated debentures to support regulatory total capital levels. This could result in
adjustments to the fair value of these instruments including the acceleration of losses on junior subordinated debentures carried at fair value.
We rely on the soundness of other financial institutions and government sponsored enterprises.
Financial services institutions and government sponsored enterprises are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, processing, lending, counterparty, guarantor
and other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties in financial services, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks,
bankers banks, correspondent banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds, institutions involved in the mortgage business and others. Transactions with these
entities expose us to risk in the event of default of our counterparty, including due to their failure or financial difficulty. Our ability to engage in funding
transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions, including if there is a default by, or rumors about,
one or more financial services institutions. Our credit risk could also be impacted when the collateral we hold cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not
sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due to us.
We may be impacted by the retirement of LIBOR as a reference rate.
In November 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the London Interbank Offered Rate administrator, announced its intention to continue publishing most
tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR until June 30, 2023. The Financial Conduct Authority announced support for this development, signaling an extension from its prior
communication that it would no longer require panel banks to submit rates for LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee was convened in the
U.S. to explore alternative reference rates and supporting processes. The ARRC is made up of financial and capital market institutions, is convened by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and includes participation by various regulators. The ARRC identified a potential successor rate to
LIBOR in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and crafted the Paced Transition Plan to facilitate the transition. However, there are conceptual and technical
differences between LIBOR and SOFR.
21
Table of Contents
A significant portion of our loans, approximately 45%, and all of the related derivative contracts within the Commercial & Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, and
Residential Mortgage portfolios reference LIBOR. We have not yet determined the optimal replacement reference rate(s) that will ultimately replace LIBOR in
current contracts maturing after LIBOR cessation. We have introduced SOFR as an option for use in our variable or adjustable rate credit products going forward.
We have organized an internal transition program to identify system, operational, and contractual impacts, assess our risks, manage the transition, facilitate
communication with our customers, and monitor the program progress. The LIBOR retirement is a significant shift in the industry. A transition away from LIBOR
could impact our pricing and interest rate risk models, our loan product structures, our hedging strategies, and communication with our customers.
The market transition away from LIBOR could:
•
•
•
•
•
•
adversely affect the interest rates paid or received on our floating rate obligations, loans, deposits, derivatives and other financial instruments tied to
LIBOR
adversely affect the value of our financial instruments tied to LIBOR
result in additional regulatory scrutiny of our preparedness for the transition away from LIBOR and increased compliance and operational costs related to
the transition;
result in disputes, litigation or other actions with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of fallback or replacement index language
in LIBOR-based instruments and securities;
cause customer confusion and negatively impact our relationships with borrowers; and
require the transition to or development of appropriate systems and analytics to effectively transition our risk management processes from LIBOR-based
products to those based on an alternative benchmark.
The value of the securities in our investment securities portfolio may be negatively affected by disruptions in securities markets.
The market for some of the investment securities held in our portfolio has become volatile over the past three years. Volatile market conditions or deteriorating
financial performance of the issuer or obligor may detrimentally affect the value of these securities. There can be no assurance that potential declines in market
value associated with these disruptions will not result in other-than-temporary or permanent impairments of these assets, which would lead to accounting charges
that could have a material adverse effect on our net income and capital levels.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Deposits are a critical source of funds for our continued growth and profitability.
Our business strategy calls for continued growth. Our ability to continue to grow depends primarily on our ability to successfully attract deposits to fund loan
growth. Core deposits are a low cost and generally stable source of funding and a significant source of funds for our lending activities. Our inability to retain or
attract such funds could adversely affect our liquidity. If we are forced to seek other sources of funds, such as additional brokered deposits or borrowings from the
FHLB, the interest expense associated with these other funding sources may be higher than the rates we are currently paying on our deposits, which would
adversely impact our net income, and such sources of funding may be more volatile and unavailable to us.
Conditions in the financial markets may limit our access to additional funding to meet our liquidity needs.
Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale or pledging as collateral of loans and other assets due to
market conditions could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be
impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. An adverse regulatory action against us could detrimentally impact our
access to liquidity sources. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are nonspecific to us, such as severe disruption of the financial markets or
negative news and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole as evidenced by turmoil in the domestic and worldwide credit
markets.
22
Table of Contents
Our wholesale funding sources may prove insufficient to support our future growth or an unexpected reduction in deposits.
We must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. As a part of our liquidity management, we use a number of funding sources
in addition to core deposit growth and repayments and maturities of loans and investments. If we grow more rapidly than any increase in our deposit balances, we
are likely to become more dependent on these sources, which include brokered deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, proceeds from the sale of loans and
liquidity resources at the holding company. Our financial flexibility will be severely constrained if we are unable to maintain our access to funding or if adequate
financing is not available to accommodate future growth at acceptable interest rates. If we are required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to
support future growth, our revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our costs, and our profitability would be adversely affected.
MORTGAGE BANKING RISK
Changes in interest rates could reduce the value of mortgage servicing rights.
We acquire MSR when we keep servicing rights after we sell originated residential mortgage loans. We sell the majority of our originated residential mortgage
loans with servicing retained. We measure MSR at fair value. Fair value is the present value of estimated future net servicing income, calculated based on a number
of variables, including assumptions about the likelihood of prepayment by borrowers. Changes in interest rates can affect prepayment assumptions and
consequently MSR fair value. When interest rates fall, borrowers are usually more likely to prepay their mortgage loans by refinancing them at a lower rate. As the
likelihood of prepayment increases, MSR fair value can decrease, which reduces earnings in the period in which the decrease occurs.
A low interest rate environment increases our exposure to prepayment risk in our mortgage portfolio and the mortgage-backed securities in our investment
portfolio. Increased prepayments, refinancing or other factors that impact loan balances could reduce expected revenue associated with mortgage assets and could
also lead to a reduction in the value of our mortgage servicing rights, which could have a negative impact on our financial results.
Our mortgage banking revenue can fluctuate significantly.
We earn revenue from fees received for originating, selling and servicing mortgage loans. Generally, if interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to
fall, reducing the revenue we receive from originations and sales of mortgage loans. At the same time, mortgage banking revenue can increase through increases in
fair value of MSR. When interest rates decline, originations tend to increase and the value of MSR tends to decline, also with some offsetting revenue effect. The
negative effect on revenue from a decrease in the fair value of residential MSR is immediate, but any offsetting revenue benefit from more originations and the
MSR relating to new loans accrues over time. It is also possible that even if interest rates were to fall, mortgage originations may also fall or any increase in
mortgage originations may not be enough to offset the decrease in the MSR value caused by the lower rates.
23
Table of Contents
We depend upon programs administered by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
Our ability to generate revenues in our home lending group depends on programs administered by government-sponsored entities that play an important role in the
residential mortgage industry. During 2020, 76% of mortgage loans were originated for sale to, or through programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or
Ginnie Mae. We service loans on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as loans that have been securitized pursuant to securitization programs sponsored
by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. A majority of our mortgage servicing rights and loans serviced through subservicing agreements relate to these
servicing activities. These entities establish the base service fee to compensate us for servicing loans as well as the assessment of fines and penalties that may be
imposed upon us for failing to meet servicing standards. Our status as a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae approved seller and servicer is subject to
compliance with guidelines and failure to meet such guidelines could result in the unilateral termination of our status as an approved seller or servicer. Changes in
the existing government-sponsored mortgage programs or servicing eligibility standards through legislation or otherwise, or our failure to maintain a relationship
with each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows
through negative impact on the pricing of mortgage related assets in the secondary market, higher mortgage rates to borrowers, or lower mortgage origination
volumes and margins.
LEGAL, REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISK
We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision.
Umpqua Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries, primarily Umpqua Bank, are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision including by the
FDIC, Oregon Division of Financial Regulation, Federal Reserve Board, CFPB, the SEC and FINRA, the primary focus of which is to protect customers,
depositors, the deposit insurance fund and the safety and soundness of the banking system as a whole, and not shareholders. The quantity and scope of applicable
federal and state regulations may place banks and brokerage firms at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors such as financial
technology companies, finance companies, credit unions, mortgage banking companies and leasing companies. These laws and regulations apply to almost every
aspect of our business, and affect our lending practices and procedures, capital structure, investment activities, deposit gathering activities, our services and
products, risk management practices, dividend policy and growth, including through acquisitions.
Legislation and regulation with respect to our industry has increased in recent years, and we expect that supervision and regulation will continue to expand in scope
and complexity. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes,
regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and
unpredictable ways, and could subject us to additional costs, restrict our growth, limit the services and products we may offer or limit the pricing of banking
services and products. In addition, establishing systems and processes to achieve compliance with laws and regulation increases our costs and could limit our
ability to pursue business opportunities.
If we receive less than satisfactory results on regulatory examinations, we could be subject to damage to our reputation, significant fines and penalties,
requirements to increase compliance and risk management activities and related costs and restriction on acquisitions, new locations, new lines of business, or
continued growth. Future changes in federal and state banking and brokerage regulations could adversely affect our operating results and ability to continue to
compete effectively. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations subject us to additional restrictions, oversight and reporting obligations, which have
significantly increased costs. And over the last several years, state and federal regulators have focused on enhanced risk management practices, compliance with
the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering laws, data integrity and security, use of service providers, and fair lending and other consumer protection issues,
which has increased our need to build additional processes and infrastructure. Government agencies charged with adopting and interpreting laws, rules and
regulations, may do so in an unforeseen manner, including in ways that potentially expand the reach of the laws, rules or regulations more than initially
contemplated or currently anticipated. We cannot predict the substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulation, or the application thereof.
Compliance with such current and potential regulation and scrutiny could significantly increase our costs, impede the efficiency of our internal business processes,
require us to increase our regulatory capital and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities in an efficient manner. Our success depends on our ability to
maintain compliance with both existing and new laws and regulations.
24
Table of Contents
We are required to comply with stringent capital requirements.
As set forth in Item 1 "Supervision and Regulation" of this report, we are required to maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of
6%, a total capital ratio of 8%, and a leverage ratio of 4%. In addition, we must maintain an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of total risk weighted
assets or be subject to limitations on dividends and other capital distributions, as well as limiting discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The new rules
may require us to raise more common capital or other capital that qualifies as Tier 1 capital. Maintaining higher levels of capital may reduce our profitability and
otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The application of more stringent capital requirements could, among other
things, result in lower returns on invested capital and result in regulatory actions if we were to be unable to comply with such requirements.
We may be required to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed, or it may only be available on unacceptable
terms, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. Our ability to raise additional capital, if
needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we may not be
able to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations
and pursue our growth strategy could be materially impaired. We and the Bank are currently well capitalized under applicable regulatory guidelines. However, our
business could be negatively affected if we or the Bank failed to remain well capitalized. For example, because Umpqua Bank is well capitalized, and we otherwise
qualify as a financial holding company, we are permitted to engage in a broader range of activities than are permitted to a bank holding company. Loss of financial
holding company status could require that we cease these broader activities. The banking regulators are authorized (and sometimes required) to impose a wide
range of requirements, conditions, and restrictions on banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies that fail to maintain adequate capital levels.
We have risk related to legal proceedings.
We are involved in judicial, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising from our business activities and fiduciary responsibilities. We
establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. We may incur costs for a
legal matter even if we have not established a reserve, and the actual costs of resolving a legal matter may substantially exceed any established reserves for the
matter. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us. Any claim asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, could harm
our reputation. The ultimate resolution of a pending or future legal proceeding, depending on the remedy sought and granted, could materially adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
As a bank holding company that conducts substantially all of our operations through the Bank, our ability to pay dividends, repurchase our shares or to repay
our indebtedness depends upon liquid assets held by the holding company and the results of operations of our subsidiaries.
The Company is a separate and distinct legal entity from our subsidiaries and it receives substantially all of its revenue from dividends paid from the Bank. There
are legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to, or engage in transactions with, us. Our inability
to receive dividends from the Bank could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our net income depends primarily upon the Bank's net interest income, which is the income that remains after deducting from total income generated by earning
assets the expense attributable to the acquisition of the funds required to support earning assets (primarily interest paid on deposits). The amount of interest income
is dependent on many factors including the volume of earning assets, the general level of interest rates, the dynamics of changes in interest rates and the levels of
nonperforming loans. All of those factors affect the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company.
Various statutory provisions restrict the amount of dividends the Bank can pay to us without regulatory approval. The Bank may not pay cash dividends if that
payment could reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet the "adequately capitalized" level in accordance with regulatory capital requirements.
It is also possible that, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank and other factors, regulatory authorities could conclude that payment of dividends or
other payments, including payments to us, is an unsafe or unsound practice and impose restrictions or prohibit such payments.
25
Table of Contents
Under Oregon law, the Bank may not pay dividends in excess of unreserved retained earnings, deducting there from, to the extent not already charged against
earnings or reflected in a reserve, the following: (1) all bad debts, which are debts on which interest is past due and unpaid for at least six months, unless the debt is
fully secured and in the process of collection; (2) all other assets charged-off as required by Oregon bank regulators or a state or federal examiner; and (3) all
accrued expenses, interest and taxes of the institution. The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding
companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve's view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that its net income for the past
year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the holding company's capital needs, asset quality and
overall financial condition.
We are currently required to seek prior regulatory approval for dividends from the Bank to Umpqua and from Umpqua to shareholders. Our regulators have broad
discretion whether to approve (or to not object to) dividends and when they will respond to our requests.
TECHNOLOGY RISK
We face significant cyber, data and information security risk.
Cyber attacks and other data security risks and breaches include computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, denial of service or information attacks, hacking,
ransomware, social engineering attacks targeting our associates and customers, improper access by associates or vendors, malware intrusion and data corruption
attempts, and identity theft that could result in the disclosure or destruction of confidential or proprietary information.
Cyberattack techniques can be very sophisticated and difficult to promptly detect, change regularly, and can originate from a wide variety of sources including
third parties who are or may be involved in organized crime or linked to terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments. Cyber security risk management
programs are expensive to maintain and as cyber threats continue to grow and evolve we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to
modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate information security vulnerabilities or incidents. Although we have programs in place
related to business continuity, disaster recovery and information and cyber security to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems,
business applications and customer information, we may not timely detect disruptions and disruptions may still give rise to interruptions in service to customers
and loss or liability to us, including loss of customer data.
Cyber risks increase as we continue to develop and grow our mobile and other internet-based product offerings and expand our internal usage of web-based
products and applications.
Hacking of personal information and identity theft risks, in particular, could cause serious reputational harm. A successful penetration or circumvention of system
security could cause serious negative consequences that could adversely impact its results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, including:
loss of customers and business opportunities;
costs associated with maintaining business relationships after an attack or breach;
significant business disruption to our operations;
•
•
•
• misappropriation, exposure, or destruction of our confidential information, intellectual property, funds, or those of our customers;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
damage to computers or systems;
violation of applicable privacy and other laws;
litigation;
regulatory fines, penalties or intervention;
loss of confidence in our security measures;
reimbursement or other compensatory costs; and
additional compliance costs.
Our cybersecurity insurance may not provide sufficient coverage in the event of a breach or may not be available in the future on acceptable terms.

Cybersecurity and data privacy are areas of heightened legislative and regulatory focus.
As cybersecurity and data privacy risks for banking organizations and the broader financial system have significantly increased in recent years, cybersecurity and
data privacy issues have become the subject of increasing legislative and regulatory focus. The federal bank regulatory agencies have proposed enhanced cyber risk
management standards, focusing on cyber risk governance and management, management of internal and external dependencies, and incident response, cyber
resilience and situational awareness. Several states have proposed or adopted cybersecurity legislation and regulations, which require, among other things,
notification to affected individuals when there has been a security breach of their personal data. We receive, maintain and store non-public personal information of
our customers and counterparties, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information and personal financial information. The sharing, use, disclosure
and protection of this information are governed by federal and state law. Both personally identifiable information and personal financial information is increasingly
subject to legislation and regulation, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected and handled. For example, in June of
2018, the Governor of California signed into law the California Consumer Privacy Act, which became effective on January 1, 2020, and Californians approved the
California Privacy Rights Act in November 2020. We may become subject to new legislation or regulation concerning cybersecurity or the privacy of personally
identifiable information and personal financial information or of any other information we may store or maintain. We could be adversely affected if new legislation
or regulations are adopted or if existing legislation or regulations are modified such that we are required to alter our systems or require changes to our business
practices or privacy policies. If cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, data transfer or data retention laws are implemented, interpreted or applied in a manner
inconsistent with our current practices, we may be subject to fines, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions or ordered to change its business practices, policies
or systems in a manner that adversely impacts our operating results.
The failure to understand and adapt to continual technological changes could negatively impact our business.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services by depository
institutions and fintech companies. Technological changes are often designed to eliminate banks as intermediaries which could result in the loss of income and
customer deposits. New technology-driven products and services are often introduced and adopted, including innovative ways that customers can make payments,
access products and manage accounts. We could be required to make substantial capital expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop
new products and services. We may not be successful in introducing new products and services or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. We
could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, or be subject to cost increases if we do not
effectively develop and implement new technology. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology
to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in operations. In addition, advances in technology
such as digital, mobile, telephone, text, and on-line banking; e-commerce; and self-service automatic teller machines and other equipment, as well as changing
customer preferences to access our products and services through digital channels, could decrease the value of our store network and other assets. We may close or
sell certain stores and restructure or reduce our remaining stores and work force. These actions could lead to losses on assets, expense to reconfigure stores and loss
of customers in certain markets. As a result, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to successfully implement current or future information technology system enhancements and operational initiatives.
We are investing significant resources in information technology system enhancements and operational initiative to provide functionality, new and enhanced
products and services, more efficient internal operations, meet regulatory requirements and streamline our customer experience. We may not be able to successfully
implement and integrate such system enhancements and related operational initiatives or do so within budgets and on time. We may incur significant training,
licensing, maintenance, consulting and amortization expenses during and after implementation, and may not realize the anticipated long-term benefits.

We rely on third parties to provide services that are integral to our operations. These vendors provide services that support our operations, including the storage and
processing of sensitive consumer and business customer data, as well as our sales efforts. A cyber security breach of a vendor's system may result in theft of our
data or disruption of business processes. In most cases, we will remain primarily liable to our customers for losses arising from a breach of a vendor's data security
system. We rely on our outsourced service providers to implement and maintain prudent cyber security controls. We have procedures in place to assess a vendor's
cyber security controls prior to establishing a contractual relationship and to periodically review assessments of those control systems; however, these procedures
are not infallible, and a vendor's system can be breached despite the procedures we employ. We cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain these relationships
on favorable terms. In addition, some of our data processing services are provided by companies associated with our competitors. The loss of these vendor
relationships could disrupt the services we provide to our customers and cause us to incur significant expense in connection with replacing these services.
Damage to our brand and reputation could significantly harm our business and prospects.
Our brand and reputation are important assets. Our relationship with many of our customers is predicated upon our reputation as a high-quality provider of
financial services that adheres to the highest standards of ethics, service quality and regulatory compliance. We believe that our brand has been, and continues to
be, well received in our industry, with current and potential customers, investors and employees. Our ability to attract and retain customers, investors and
employees depends upon external perceptions of us. Damage to our reputation among existing and potential customers, investors and employees could cause
significant harm to our business and prospects and may arise from numerous sources, including litigation or regulatory actions, failing to deliver minimum
standards of service and quality, lending practices, inadequate protection of customer information, sales and marketing efforts, compliance failures, unethical
behavior and the misconduct of employees. Adverse developments with respect to our industry may also, by association, negatively impact our reputation or result
in greater regulatory or legislative scrutiny or litigation against us.

We and our customers are susceptible to fraud.
Financial institutions are inherently exposed to fraud risk. A fraud can be perpetrated by a customer, associate, vendor or member of the general public. We are
most subject to fraud risk with the origination of loans, ACH and wire transactions, ATM transactions and checking transactions. Fraud risk within digital channels
is challenging to detect and prevent and we are expanding our business more deeply into these channels. We rely on financial and other data from customers when
we accept them as new customers and when they conduct transactions, which information could be fraudulent and expose us to losses that negatively impact our
net income especially when delivered through digital channels. Our operational controls to prevent and detect such fraud may be ineffective in preventing new
methods of fraud. If our customers experience fraud, theft or a cyber attack on their systems that results in loss of funds held at the Bank, they will often look to the
Bank to make them whole regardless of fault, which can increase our costs to defend threatened litigation and result in loss of customer relationships.
STRATEGIC AND OTHER BUSINESS RISKS
Involvement in non-bank business creates risks associated with the securities industry.
Umpqua Investments' retail brokerage operations present special risks not borne by financial institutions that focus exclusively on traditional community banking.
For example, the brokerage industry is subject to fluctuations in the stock market that may have a significant adverse impact on transaction fees, customer activity
and investment portfolio gains and losses. Likewise, additional or modified regulations may adversely affect Umpqua Investments' operations. Umpqua
Investments is also dependent on a small number of established brokers, whose departure could result in the loss of a significant number of customer accounts. A
significant decline in fees and commissions or trading losses suffered in the investment portfolio could adversely affect Umpqua Investments' income and
potentially require the contribution of additional capital to support its operations. Umpqua Investments is subject to claim arbitration risk arising from customers
who claim their investments were not suitable or that their portfolios were too actively traded. These risks increase when the market declines. The risks associated
with retail brokerage may not be supported by the income generated by those operations.
The financial services industry is highly competitive.
We face pricing competition for loans and deposits. We also face competition with respect to customer convenience, product lines, accessibility of service and
service capabilities. Our most direct competition comes from other banks, brokerages, mortgage companies and savings institutions, but more recently has also
come from fintech companies that rely on technology to provide financial services. We also face competition from credit unions, government-sponsored
enterprises, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and other non-bank businesses. The significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and
making loans, as well as providing other financial services throughout our market area may impact future earnings and growth. Our success depends, in part, on the
ability to adapt products and services to evolving industry standards. There is increasing pressure to provide products and services at lower prices, which can
reduce net interest income and non-interest income from fee-based products and services.

None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The executive offices of Umpqua and Umpqua Investments are located at One SW Columbia Street in Portland, Oregon in office space that is leased. The Bank's
headquarters, located in Roseburg, Oregon, is owned. At December 31, 2020, the Bank conducted commercial and retail banking activities at 265 locations,
including 229 store locations, in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Nevada. Our 265 locations include 104 owned and 161 leased locations. As of
December 31, 2020, the Bank also operated 26 facilities for the purpose of administrative and other functions, such as back-office support, of which 2 are owned
and 24 are leased. All facilities are in a good state of repair and appropriately designed for use as banking or administrative office facilities.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Due to the nature of our business, we are involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of all of these matters is
currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES.
(a) Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "UMPQ." As of December 31, 2020, our common stock was held by
4,315 shareholders of record, a number that does not include beneficial owners who hold shares in "street name," or shareholders from previously acquired
companies that have not exchanged their stock. At December 31, 2020, a total of 1.3 million shares of unvested restricted shares were outstanding.
On March 13, 2020, Umpqua's Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.21 for the first quarter 2020, which was paid on April 15, 2020. Subsequently,
the Company changed the timing of its dividends from an intra-quarter announcement to after earnings for each quarter are released. The shift in timing was made
to provide the Company’s Board of Directors and regulators the opportunity to review final quarterly financial results and financial projections prior to approval of
any dividends. The Company paid the quarterly cash dividends for the second and third quarter of $0.21 per common share on August 31, 2020 and November 30,
2020, respectively. On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend for 2020 in the amount of $0.21 per common share based on fourth quarter 2020
performance, which will be paid on February 26, 2021.
These dividends were made pursuant to our existing dividend policy and in consideration of, among other things, earnings, regulatory capital levels, the overall
payout ratio and expected asset growth. We expect that the dividend rate will be reassessed on a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors in accordance with the
dividend policy.
The payment of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and subject to a number of factors, including results of operations, general
business conditions, growth, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Further, our ability to pay future cash dividends is
subject to certain regulatory requirements and restrictions discussed in the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 above.
We have a dividend reinvestment plan through our transfer agent that permits shareholder participants to purchase shares at the then-current market price in lieu of
the receipt of cash dividends. Shares issued in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan are purchased in open market transactions.

The Company's share repurchase plan, which was first approved by the Board and announced in August 2003, was amended on September 29,
2011 to increase the number of common shares available for repurchase under the plan to 15 million shares. The repurchase program has been
extended multiple times by the board with the current expiration date of July 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 9.5 million shares
remained available for repurchase. Under the repurchase plan, the Company repurchased 331,000 during 2020, 300,000 in 2019, and 327,000 in
2018. The timing and amount of future repurchases will depend upon the market price for our common stock, securities laws restricting
repurchases, regulatory requirements for prior approval or non-objection, asset growth, earnings, and our capital plan.
Restricted shares cancelled to pay withholding taxes totaled 163,000 and 115,000 shares during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Information relating to compensation plans under which the Company's equity securities are authorized for issuance is set forth in "Part III—Item 12" of this
Report.
Stock Performance Graph
The following chart, which is furnished as part of our annual report to shareholders and not filed, compares the yearly percentage changes in the cumulative

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
See the discussion of forward-looking statements and risk factors in Part I Item 1 and Item 1A of this report.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations constitutes management's review of the factors that affected our financial
and operating performance for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. For a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2018, including a comparison to the year ended
December 31, 2019, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on Registrant's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Recent Developments – COVID-19
At this time, we are unable to predict the extent and magnitude of the negative impact on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental
reaction due to numerous uncertainties. To limit the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations, customers and associates, we have modified our operations to
comply with multiple state-level proclamations and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and best practices by restricting travel, maintaining
remote work programs for associates, restricting lobby access to stores and having customers bank by appointment, online, or via our mobile banking app,
increasing facilities cleaning scope and frequency, and deploying resources for new programs such as the Payroll Protection Program. We have also addressed
other customer needs during the pandemic by continuing to offer our Umpqua Go-To® application which offers customers and associates a safe and effective way
to conduct banking.
We have increased our community support by allocating $3.0 million in grants and investments to organizations providing COVID-19 community relief and small
business microloans, activating an associate 3:1 giving match to donations, and initiating virtual volunteerism opportunities. We enhanced associate benefits by
introducing supplemental front line associate pay, providing a pandemic pay bank for associates needing additional paid time off due to COVID-19 impacts, and
implementing flexible work rotations and remote work for higher-risk associates.
While we do not know and cannot quantify all of the specific impacts, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and
financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, continues to depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be
predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic; actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic,
including vaccinations; the effect on our customers, counterparties, employees and third party service providers; and the effect on the economy and markets.
We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the economy and our business including our results of operations and stock price. The
federal government response to the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on our business, including our involvement in the PPP, as well as increased
mortgage loan production fueled by the decline in interest rates, although these benefits may be short-term in nature and are offset by other impacts on the Bank in
a prolonged low interest rate environment. The risks to our business are more fully described in Part I, item 1A "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business.

Financial
Significant items for the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:
Financial Performance
• Net loss per diluted common share was $6.92 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net income per diluted common share of $1.60 for
the year ended December 31, 2019. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, was due to the goodwill impairment, increased provision for
credit losses, as well as net interest margin compression, offset by an increase in non-interest income.
• In March 2020, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion. An interim goodwill impairment analysis was completed due to the
decline in the economic environment, specifically the impact of significant decreases in interest rates, declines in the Company's stock price, as well as
estimated higher credit losses. The non-cash goodwill impairment recorded does not impact tangible equity or our regulatory capital ratios.
• Net interest income was $882.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $920.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
decrease in net interest income compared to the same period in the prior year was due to lower yields on interest-earning assets due to interest rate cuts
by the Federal Reserve, partially offset by higher average earning asset balances and lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
• Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.23% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 3.71% for the year ended December 31,
2019. The decrease in net interest margin compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by lower yields on interest-earning assets, due to
the interest rate cuts that the Federal Reserve instituted as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease was partially offset by a reduction in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities as a result of the Company's management of the cost of our funding sources.
• Non-interest income was $412.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $339.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
This increase was primarily driven by the increase in residential mortgage banking revenue. In 2019, we recorded a one-time gain of $81.9 million from
the sale of Visa Inc. Class B common stock.
• Residential mortgage banking revenue was $270.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $101.8 million for year ended
December 31, 2019. The increase in residential mortgage banking revenue was primarily driven by an increase in originations in the current year due to
elevated refinance demand from lower mortgage interest rates. Income from the origination and sale of residential mortgages increased by $203.8
million, as compared to the prior year, offset by losses on the fair value of the MSR asset due to increases in actual and projected prepayment speeds.
• For-sale mortgage closed loan volume increased by 116% in 2020, as compared to 2019. In addition, the gain on sale margin increased to 4.62%, for the
year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to 3.38% in 2019. The increase in the gain on sale margin was due to constrained industry capacity.
• Non-interest expense was $2.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $719.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
increase in non-interest expense compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by the $1.8 billion goodwill impairment that was recorded in
the first quarter. In addition, salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to the significant mortgage banking activity, partially offset by
decreases in other expenses as the Company limited travel and used remote collaboration tools.
• Total gross loans and leases were $21.8 billion as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $583.7 million, or 3%, compared to December 31, 2019. The
increase in total loans was primarily due to the production of PPP loans. Excluding PPP loan production, loan balances declined due to reduced
origination activity in the current economic environment and a strategic decision to allocate a greater percentage of home lending production to LHFS.

• The Company participates in the PPP, offering loans to both customers and non-customers throughout our footprint. As of December 31, 2020, the
Company had approximately 14,800 PPP loans and $1.8 billion in PPP loans, with an average customer loan balance of $118,000. PPP loan balances
will decline as customers complete the applicable loan forgiveness process through the Company and the SBA.
• Total deposits were $24.6 billion as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $2.1 billion, or 10%, from December 31, 2019. This increase was due to
growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which was mainly attributable to an increase in commercial customers' non-interest bearing accounts to
increase their liquidity position, and personal customers decreasing discretionary spending. This increase was partially offset by decreases in higher cost
time deposits and commercial money market relationships.
• Total consolidated assets were $29.2 billion as of December 31, 2020, compared to $28.8 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to
the increase in loans due to PPP loan production and an increase in on-balance sheet liquidity, offset by the goodwill impairment recorded in the first
quarter of 2020 and an increase in the allowance for credit losses.
Credit Quality
• Non-performing assets increased to $69.2 million, or 0.24% of total assets, as of December 31, 2020, compared to $67.5 million, or 0.23% of total
assets, as of December 31, 2019. Non-performing loans were $67.4 million, or 0.31% of total loans and leases, as of December 31, 2020, compared to
$64.2 million, or 0.30% of total loans and leases, as of December 31, 2019.
• The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was $328.4 million, as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $170.8 million, as compared to
December 31, 2019. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $20.3 million, as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $15.2 million, as compared to
December 31, 2019. The significant increases in the allowance for credit losses are due to the economic forecasts which reflect the rapidly changing
economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional risk associated with payment deferrals, political uncertainty and unknown
fiscal support anticipating a continued economic downturn, as well as the implementation of CECL. The initial adjustment to the allowance for credit
losses, which includes the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases and the reserve for unfunded commitments, with the adoption of CECL as of
January 1, 2020, was $53.2 million.
• The provision for credit losses was $204.9 million for 2020. This was compared to a provision for credit losses (including the provision related to the
reserve for unfunded commitments) of $73.1 million for 2019. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 2019, was attributable
to the economic forecasts influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic used in the CECL calculation of the allowance for credit losses. As an annualized
percentage of average outstanding loans and leases, the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 0.92%, as compared to
0.35% for the same period in 2019.
Liquidity
• Total cash and cash equivalents was $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $1.2 billion from December 31, 2019. The increase in cash
and cash equivalents reflects the Bank's current liquidity strategy to have an elevated on-balance sheet liquidity position to further enhance flexibility
due to the increased market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Capital and Growth Initiatives
• Umpqua launched "Next Gen 2.0" as a continuation of our initiative to modernize the Bank. Like its predecessor, the Next Gen 2.0 program includes
initiatives to grow revenue, invest in strategic areas for future growth, including technology and digital enhancements, and to continue to advance
operational excellence goals to reduce operating costs and invest the savings in strategic growth opportunities. We prioritize strategic investments to
grow the balance sheet, including key human digital initiatives to advance the customer experience, and gain market share.

• The Company's total risk based capital was 15.6% and its Tier 1 common to risk weighted assets ratio was 12.3% as of December 31, 2020. As of
December 31, 2019, the Company's total risk based ratio was 14.0% and its Tier 1 common to risk weighted assets ratio was 11.2%.
• The Company declared cash dividends of $0.63 per common share during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company shifted the timing of its
dividend declarations from historical intra-quarter announcements to after quarterly earnings are finalized and applicable regulatory approval processes
are complete. Accordingly, the fourth quarter 2020 dividend of $0.21 per common share was declared on February 1, 2021. In addition, we repurchased
331,000 shares of common stock during the year.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Our significant accounting policies are
described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report. Not all of our significant accounting policies require management to
make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. Management believes that the following policies would be considered critical under the SEC's
definition.
Allowance for Credit Losses Policy
The Bank has established an Allowance for Credit Losses Committee, which is responsible for, among other things, regularly reviewing the ACL methodology,
including allowance levels, and ensuring that it is designed and applied in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's Audit and
Compliance Committee provides board oversight of the ACL process and reviews and approves the ACL methodology on a quarterly basis.
CECL is not prescriptive in the methodology used to determine the expected credit loss estimate. Therefore, management has flexibility in selecting the
methodology. However, the expected credit losses must be estimated over a financial asset's contractual term, adjusted for prepayments, utilizing quantitative and
qualitative factors.
The estimate of current expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that
affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. Adjustments are made to
historical loss experience to reflect differences in asset-specific risk characteristics, such as underwriting standards, portfolio mix or asset terms, and differences in
economic conditions – both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. When the Company is not able to make or obtain reasonable and
supportable forecasts for the entire life of the financial asset, it has estimated expected credit losses for the remaining life after the forecasted period, using an
approach that reverts to historical credit loss information.
The Company utilizes complex models to obtain reasonable and supportable forecasts; most of the models calculate two predictive metrics: the probability of
default and loss given default. The PD measures the probability that a loan will default within a given time horizon and primarily measures the adequacy of the
debtor's cash flow as the primary source of repayment of the loan or lease. The LGD is the expected loss which would be realized presuming a default has occurred
and primarily measures the value of the collateral or other secondary source of repayment related to the collateral.
Loans and leases deemed to be collateral dependent, or loans deemed to be reasonably expected to become troubled debt restructured or troubled debt restructured,
are individually evaluated for loss based on the value of the underlying collateral or a discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company considers various qualitative factors when determining the overall adequacy of the ACL, including changes within the portfolio, changes to Bank
policies and processes, as well as external factors, which may result in qualitative overlays to the model results. Loss factors from the models, prepayment speeds,
and qualitative factors are input into the Company's CECL accounting application which aggregates the information. The Company then uses two methods to
calculate the current expected credit loss: 1) the discounted cash flow method, which is used for all loans except lines of credit and 2) the non-discounted cash flow
method which is used for lines of credit due to the difficulty of calculating an effective interest rate when lines of credit have not yet been drawn on.
38
Table of Contents
The reserve for unfunded commitments is established to absorb inherent losses associated with our commitment to lend funds, such as with a letter or line of credit.
The adequacy of the ACLLL and RUC are monitored on a regular basis and are based on management's evaluation of numerous factors, including: the CECL
model outputs; quality of the current loan portfolio; the trend in the loan portfolio's risk ratings; current economic conditions; loan concentrations; loan growth
rates; past-due and non-performing trends; evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans; historical charge-off and recovery experience; and
other pertinent information.
Management believes that the ACL was adequate as of December 31, 2020. There is, however, no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed the levels
provided for in the ACL and could result in additional provision for loan and lease losses in future periods.
Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights
We have a significant investment in residential mortgage servicing rights. The Company determines its classes of servicing assets based on the asset type being
serviced along with the methods used to manage the risk inherent in the servicing assets, which includes the market inputs used to value the servicing assets. The
Company measures its residential mortgage servicing assets at fair value and reports changes in fair value through earnings. Fair value adjustments encompass
market-driven valuation changes and the runoff in value that occurs from the passage of time, which are separately reported. Under the fair value method, the MSR
is carried on the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are reported in earnings within residential mortgage banking revenue for the period in
which the change occurs.
Retained mortgage servicing rights are measured at fair value as of the date of the related loan sale. We use quoted market prices when available. Subsequent fair
value measurements are determined using a discounted cash flow model. In order to determine the fair value of the MSR, the present value of expected net future
cash flows is estimated. Assumptions used include market discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, and ancillary fee
income net of servicing costs. This model is periodically validated by an independent model validation group. The model assumptions and the MSR fair value
estimates are also compared to observable trades of similar portfolios as well as to MSR broker valuations and industry surveys, as available.
Valuation of Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but instead is periodically tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse
changes in the business, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. The
impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others,
competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, cost structures, technology, changes in discount rates and specific industry
and market conditions.
The Company performs its analysis of goodwill at the reporting unit level analyzing any factors that would impact the estimated fair value of the reporting unit
compared to its carrying value. Goodwill is allocated between the reporting units of Wholesale Bank, Retail Bank, and Wealth Management. The Company first
assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If the
qualitative assessment results indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative
impairment test is performed. Various valuation methodologies are considered when completing the quantitative impairment test to determine the estimated fair
value of the reporting unit which is then compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an
impairment charge would be taken for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to the reporting unit.
The Company assessed goodwill for impairment at the interim date of March 31, 2020, due to events and circumstances indicating potential impairment. At that
time, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion based on the results of the quantitative assessment. The goodwill impairment reduced the
goodwill allocated to the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units to zero. As of October 31, 2020, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment
analysis for the remaining $2.7 million, which is at the Wealth Management reporting unit, and determined that no impairment was indicated.

Fair Value
A hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability is utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of
judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with readily
available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a
lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no pricing
observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of
financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. In developing
our fair value measurements, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $1.5 billion, or $6.92 loss per diluted common share, compared to net income of $354.1
million, or $1.60 earnings per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net loss for 2020 was attributable to goodwill impairment of $1.8
billion, an increase in provision for credit losses, and interest margin compression. The net loss was partially offset by an increase in non-interest income from
increased residential mortgage banking revenue, due to strong mortgage production and higher margins, driven by lower interest rates during the period. The
goodwill impairment taken as of March 31, 2020, based on an interim impairment analysis triggered by the deterioration in the economic environment, resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the reduction in interest rates, the increase in projected credit losses, and the decline in the Company's stock price. The
increase in the provision for credit losses is due to the COVID-19 pandemic influenced economic forecast used in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses
using CECL.
The following table presents the returns on average assets, average common shareholders' equity and average tangible common shareholders' equity for the years
ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. For each of the periods presented, the table includes the calculated ratios based on reported net (loss) income. Our
return on average common shareholders' equity has historically been negatively impacted as the result of capital required to support goodwill. To the extent this
performance metric is used to compare our performance with other financial institutions that do not have merger and acquisition-related intangible assets, we
believe it is beneficial to also consider the return on average tangible common shareholders' equity. The return on average tangible common shareholders' equity is
calculated by dividing net (loss) income by average shareholders' common equity less average goodwill and intangible assets, net (excluding MSRs). The return on
average tangible common shareholders' equity is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed in conjunction with the return on average
common shareholders' equity.

Additionally, management believes tangible common equity and the tangible common equity ratio are meaningful measures of capital adequacy. Umpqua believes
the exclusion of certain intangible assets in the computation of tangible common equity and tangible common equity ratio provides a meaningful base for period-
to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results and capital of the Company.
Tangible common equity is calculated as total shareholders' equity less preferred stock and less goodwill and other intangible assets, net (excluding MSRs). In
addition, tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net (excluding MSRs). The tangible common equity ratio is calculated as tangible
common shareholders' equity divided by tangible assets. The tangible common equity and tangible common equity ratio is considered a non-GAAP financial
measure and should be viewed in conjunction with the total shareholders' equity and the total shareholders' equity ratio.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although we believe these non-GAAP
financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the largest source of our income. Net interest income for 2020 was $882.5 million, a decrease of $38.1 million or 4% compared to the same
period in 2019 due to margin compression during 2020. The decrease in net interest income in 2020 compared to 2019 was driven by lower yields on interest-
earning assets due to a decrease in short and long-term interest rates from the interest rate cuts that the Federal Reserve instituted as a response to the COVID-19
pandemic. The decrease was partially offset by higher average interest-earning assets (due to the PPP program) and lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities as the
Bank actively managed the cost of funds. The Bank has reduced deposit exception pricing on money market and time deposits to reduce the cost of these deposits.
In addition, the Bank has allowed higher-cost deposits, such as brokered time deposits, to run off.
The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets) on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.23% for 2020, a decrease of 48
basis points compared to 2019. The decrease in the net interest margin primarily resulted from a decrease in the average yields on interest-earning assets, partially
offset by the decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the increase in average loan and lease balances. In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System, lowered the target range for the federal funds rate 150 basis points to a range of
0.00% to 0.25%. The FOMC expects to maintain this target until it is confident that the economy has weathered recent events and is on track to achieve its
maximum employment and price stability goals. Key interest rate declines experienced in 2020 have negatively impacted the Company's net interest margin. The
yield on loans and leases for 2020 decreased by 74 basis points compared to 2019, although the average balance of loans and leases increased by $1.2 billion over
the same period. The total cost of interest-bearing liabilities for 2020 was 0.75%, representing a decrease of 51 basis points compared to 2019.

Tax-exempt income has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis at a 21% tax rate. The amount of such adjustment was an addition to recorded income of
approximately $1.4 million, $1.6 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses was $204.9 million for 2020, compared to $73.1 million for 2019 (which includes both the provision for loan and lease losses and
the provision for the reserve for unfunded commitments). The increase in the provision for credit losses in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to
CECL as well as the economic forecasts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a percentage of average outstanding loans and leases, the provision for credit
losses recorded for 2020 was 0.92%, an increase of 57 basis points from 2019.
Net-charge offs were $71.1 million for 2020, or 0.32% of average loans and leases, compared to net charge-offs of $59.8 million, or 0.29% of average loans and
leases, for 2019. The majority of net charge-offs relate to the lease and equipment finance portfolio, which is included in the commercial loan portfolio.
Typically, loans in a non-accrual status will not have an allowance for credit loss as they will be written down to their net realizable value or charged-off. However,
the net realizable value for homogeneous leases and equipment finance agreements are determined by the loss given default calculated by the CECL model, and
therefore homogeneous leases and equipment finance agreements on non-accrual will have an allowance for credit loss amount until they become 181 days past
due, at which time they are charged-off. The non-accrual leases and equipment finance agreements of $18.7 million as of December 31, 2020 have a related
allowance for credit losses of $16.7 million, with the remaining loans written-down to their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and are expected to be
resolved with no additional material loss, absent further decline in market prices.

Service charges on deposits for the year ended December 31, 2020, decreased $6.0 million due to the Bank waiving certain ATM fees and deposit account related
fees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, there has been a change in customers' spending habits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
resulted in overdraft and interchange fees decreasing as customers are keeping more funds liquid and making fewer transactions.
Residential mortgage banking revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the same period of 2019 increased by $169.0 million. The increase
was primarily driven by an increase in originations in 2020 due to lower interest rates which elevated refinance demand. Revenue related to origination and sale of
residential mortgages increased by $203.8 million, as compared to the prior period. This was offset by higher loss on fair value of the MSR asset of $73.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to a loss on fair value of $44.8 million for the same period in 2019. For-sale mortgage closed loan volume
increased 116% as compared to the prior period. Gain on sale margin increased to 4.62%, compared to 3.38% in 2019 due to constrained industry capacity.
Origination volume for mortgage loans is generally linked to the level of interest rates. When rates fall, origination volumes are expected to be elevated relative to
historical levels. If rates rise, origination volumes would be expected to fall. Margins observed in the current period could be expected to narrow somewhat in
future periods as mortgage industry capacity constraints ease and refinance demand is met. In addition, government-sponsored entity investors started to increase
fees charged for refinance loans sold to them in December 2020, which we anticipate may reduce refinance activity and gain on sale margins. The MSR asset value
is also sensitive to interest rates, and generally falls with lower rates and rises with higher rates.
Servicing income was $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $42.2 million for the same period of 2019. Income was lower primarily
due to a smaller portfolio of loans serviced for others, resulting from a sale of a portion of the servicing portfolio in 2019. Operating expenses associated with
mortgage servicing activities are at risk of increasing in future periods due to the potential of higher default frequency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The changes in valuation inputs and assumptions principally reflect changes in discount rates and prepayment speeds, which are primarily affected by changes
in interest rates.
The loss on sale of debt securities of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to a strategic restructuring of our available for sale debt securities
portfolio to reduce interest rate sensitivity, which has not been repeated in the current period. Gain on equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2019, was
due to the one-time gain on sale of all of the shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock held by the Company.
Other income in 2020 compared to 2019 decreased by $11.5 million, due primarily to the decline in revenue from market swap fees of $8.2 million and an increase
in the loss on the swap derivative fair value.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense for 2020 was $2.5 billion, an increase of $1.8 billion, or 254%, compared to 2019. Excluding the goodwill impairment, non-interest expense,
for the year ended December 31, 2020, increased $42.1 million over the same period in the prior year. The following table presents the key elements of non-interest

Goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion was recorded in March 2020, based on an interim impairment analysis triggered by the decline in interest rates and economic
impacts of COVID-19, as well as declines in the Company's stock price. The impairment was a result of market volatility and forecasts for a prolonged low interest
rate environment, as well as estimated higher credit losses expected due to the economic downturn.
Salaries and employee benefits costs increased $58.9 million for 2020 compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily related to an increase in home
lending compensation of $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, related to higher origination volumes during the period.
46
Table of Contents
Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $7.4 million in 2020 compared to the prior year due to an increase in software expenses of $13.6 million, mainly
due to one-time software impairment charges associated with technology contract exits completed during the period.
Marketing expense decreased by $4.9 million in 2020 compared to 2019, due to the advertising in 2019 to attract wholesale and middle-market customers and to
promote our Umpqua Go-To® app, which did not recur in 2020.
Services expense decreased by $7.5 million in 2020 compared to 2019, primarily related to lower consulting fees related to engagements in the prior year to assist
with the identification and implementation of operational efficiencies that did not recur in 2020. In addition, consulting engagements were put on hold or delayed in
some cases due to COVID-19 related to economic uncertainties and cost containment measures.
Other non-interest expense decreased by $9.7 million in 2020 compared to 2019, due primarily to a decrease in travel expenses as the Bank limited travel in 2020, a
decrease in exit and disposal costs, as well as decrease in legal settlements. The decreases were offset slightly by an increase in charitable donations.
INCOME TAXES
Our consolidated effective tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax (loss) income for 2020 was (4.6)%, compared to 24.5% for 2019. The 2020 effective tax rate became
negative primarily due to impairment of non-deductible goodwill. Additionally, the 2020 effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21%
principally because of state taxes, non-taxable income arising from bank-owned life insurance, income on tax-exempt investment securities, nondeductible FDIC
premiums, and tax credits arising from low income housing investments.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.6 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in interest bearing cash and
temporary investments reflects management's strategy to adopt an elevated on-balance sheet liquidity position. Having high quality liquid assets enhances the
Company's liquidity flexibility given the market volatility and uncertainty in the current environment. In addition, deposit growth has outpaced loan growth in the
current year, allowing for cash and cash equivalents to increase.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The composition of our investment securities portfolio reflects management's investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a
relatively stable source of interest income. The investment securities portfolio provides a vehicle for the investment of available funds, a source of liquidity (by
pledging as collateral or through repurchase agreements) and collateral for certain public funds deposits.
Equity and other securities consist primarily of investments in fixed income mutual funds to support our CRA initiatives and securities invested in rabbi trusts for
the benefit of certain current or former executives and employees as required by the underlying agreements. Equity and other securities were $83.1 million at
December 31, 2020, compared to $80.2 million at December 31, 2019. This increase is primarily due to additional investments in CRA-qualified mutual fund
initiatives during the period.
Investment debt securities available for sale were $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2020, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase is due to
purchases of $867.7 million of investment securities and an increase in fair value of investment securities available for sale of $106.6 million, offset partially by
sales and paydowns of $828.8 million.
Investment debt securities held to maturity were $3.0 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to holdings of $3.3 million at December 31, 2019. The change
relates to paydowns and maturities of investment securities held to maturity.

Weighted average yields are stated on a federal tax-equivalent basis of 21%. Weighted average yields for available for sale investments have been calculated on
an amortized cost basis.
The mortgage-related securities in the table above include both pooled mortgage-backed issues and high-quality collateralized mortgage obligation structures, with
an average duration of 3.0 years. These mortgage-related securities provide yield spread to U.S. Treasury or agency securities; however, the cash flows arising
from them can be volatile due to refinancing of the underlying mortgage loans.
We review investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of impairment, taking into consideration current market conditions, fair value in relationship
to cost, extent and nature of the change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, whether we intend to sell a security or if it is more likely than not that we
will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity, and other factors.
Gross unrealized losses in the available for sale investment portfolio was $792,000 at December 31, 2020. This consisted primarily of unrealized losses on
residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of $449,000. The unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in market
interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities and are not attributable to changes in credit quality. In the
opinion of management, no allowance for credit losses was considered necessary on these securities as of December 31, 2020.
RESTRICTED EQUITY SECURITIES
Restricted equity securities were $41.7 million and $46.5 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the majority of which represents the Bank's
investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The decrease is attributable to redemptions of FHLB stock during the period due to decreased FHLB
borrowing activity during the period. FHLB stock is carried at par and does not have a readily determinable fair value. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to the
FHLB and member institutions, and can only be purchased and redeemed at par. At December 31, 2020, the Bank's minimum required investment in FHLB stock
was $41.4 million.

LOANS AND LEASES
Total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2020 were $21.8 billion, an increase of $583.7 million compared to year-end 2019. This increase was
principally attributable to net new loan and lease originations of $862.1 million, partially offset by loans sold of $105.1 million, charge-offs of $84.5 million and a
transfer of indirect auto loans to loans held for sale of $78.1 million.

In April 2020, the Bank began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA under the provisions of the CARES Act.
Loans covered by the PPP may be eligible for loan forgiveness for certain costs incurred related to payroll, group health care benefit costs and qualifying mortgage,
rent and utility payments. The remaining loan balance after forgiveness of any amounts is still fully guaranteed by the SBA and therefore these loans carry no
allowance for credit loss as of December 31, 2020.
Terms of the PPP loans typically include the following:
•
•
•
Fixed interest rate of 1.00%;
Loans issued have a maturity date of two or five years, depending on their date of issuance, and have the ability to prepay with no fees;
First payment deferred for up to six months, with the potential ability to extend for another six months;
50
Table of Contents
•
Loan forgiveness up to the full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest, subject to certain requirements including that no more than 25% of
the loan forgiveness amount may be attributable to non-payroll costs;
No collateral or personal guarantees are required;
•
• Maximum amount limited to the lesser of $10.0 million or an amount calculated using a payroll-based formula.
In return for processing and booking the loan, the SBA will pay the lender a processing fee tiered by the size of the loan; 5% for loans of up to $350,000; 3% for
loans greater than $350,000 and less than $2.0 million; and 1% for loans of at least $2.0 million.
As of December 31, 2020, we have approximately $1.8 billion of SBA-approved PPP loans to approximately 14,800 customers for an average customer loan
balance of $118,000, which are classified as commercial term loans. We expect to recognize the remaining unamortized balance of the PPP-related net loan
processing fees of approximately $26.9 million, as a yield adjustment over the remaining term of these loans. The Bank has seen an acceleration of PPP fees due to
processed forgiveness applications during the fourth quarter of 2020.

In December 2020, the Economic Aid Act rebooted the PPP with many of the same parameters as the first program but with several important differences. Those
changes include businesses who previously received a PPP loan are eligible for a second-draw PPP loan of up to $2 million, provided they meet certain criteria.
The Act also opened up first-draw PPP loans to additional companies and set aside funds for new and smaller borrowers, low and moderate income borrowers and
for community and small lenders. It also allowed additional costs to be eligible for loan forgiveness and PPP borrowers will be required to spend no less than 60%
of the funds on payroll over a covered period. We anticipate a renewed interest in PPP loans with the new parameters during 2021.

Excludes government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that Umpqua has the right but not the obligation to repurchase that are past due 90 days or more
totaling $4.3 million as of December 31, 2019. There were no non-performing mortgage loans guaranteed by GNMA, which Umpqua has the unilateral right to
repurchase but has not done so at December 31, 2020.
Represents accruing TDR loans performing according to their restructured terms.
Restructured Loans
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, loans of $15.0 million and $18.6 million were classified as accruing restructured loans, respectively. The restructurings were
granted in response to borrower financial difficulty, and generally provide for a temporary modification of loan repayment terms. In order for a new TDR loan to
be considered performing and on accrual status, the loan's collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to 100% of the loan balance, the loan must be
current on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow.
A further decline in the economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as in our general market areas or other factors could adversely impact
individual borrowers or the loan portfolio in general. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that loans will not become 90 days or more past due, placed on non-
accrual status, restructured or transferred to other real estate owned in the future. Umpqua is committed to helping borrowers during this unprecedented time of
uncertainty and is working with customers on payment deferrals, forbearances, and other loan modifications.

COVID-19 Related Payment Deferral and Forbearance
Due to the deterioration of the U.S. economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has had an increase in loan payment deferral and forbearance
requests. Once a deferral or forbearance request is received, a late charge waiver is put in place and payments are suspended for an agreed-upon period. Accrued
and unpaid interest during the deferral period will be collected upon the expiration of the deferral or on a regular repayment schedule at the end of the deferral
period. For certain loan types, the maturity date may be extended one to six months to allow for full amortization. In accordance with the deferral guidance at the
federal and state levels, these loans are generally classified based on their past due status prior to their deferral period, so they are classified as performing loans
that accrue interest.
A summary of outstanding loan balances with active payment deferral or forbearance as of December 31, 2020 are shown in the table below, disaggregated by

Included in the mortgage loans with payment deferrals or forbearance in the above table are $177.7 million of GNMA loans repurchased by the Bank from GNMA
during the year, due to the fact that GNMA considers them delinquent, so the Bank exercised their right to repurchase the loans.
The Bank continues to monitor COVID-19 deferrals and if a customer continues to experience financial difficulty after the initial deferral and further concessions
are granted, the loan will be reviewed to determine if a TDR designation is appropriate.

Table of Contents
With the adoption of CECL, we recorded a one-time cumulative-effect pre-tax adjustment in the amount of $53.2 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans
and leases increased by $50.0 million and the allowance for unfunded commitments increased by $3.2 million, resulting in a January 1, 2020, or day 1, balance of
the Allowance for Credit Losses of $216.0 million.
The provision for credit losses includes the provision for credit losses on loans and leases, the provision for unfunded commitments, and the provision for credit
losses related to accrued interest on loans deferred due to COVID-19. The provision for credit losses was $204.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The increase from $73.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 was principally attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the forecasts used
to determine the expected credit losses of the loan and lease portfolio in the current year. In addition, the Bank used CECL in the current year, but incurred loss in
the prior year. CECL is expected to cause the provision for credit losses to be more volatile as we now reflect current expected credit losses, instead of incurred
losses.
The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases and percent of loans and leases in each category to total loans and
leases, net of deferred fees, as of December 31 for each of the last two years:

The total allowance for credit losses disclosed in this table does not include the provision related to accrued interest on loans deferred due to COVID-19, which
is included in the provision for credit losses in the income statement for the year December 31, 2020.
To calculate the ACL, the CECL models use a forecast of future economic conditions and are dependent upon specific macroeconomic variables that are relevant to
each of the Bank's loan and lease portfolios. The changes in the ACL estimate for all portfolio segments, during the year ended December 31, 2020, were primarily
related to changes in the economic assumptions. Because of the rapidly changing economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, additional risk associated
with payment deferrals, political uncertainty, and unknown fiscal support, the Bank opted to use Moody's Analytics proprietary baseline economic forecast which
included macroeconomic developments through November 2020 for estimating the ACL as of December 31, 2020. Key components of the Moody's November
Baseline scenario include the U.S. GDP growth rate, unemployment rates, U.S. economy recovery and growth, and fiscal stimulus. The models for calculating the
ACL are sensitive to changes in these and other economic variables, which could result in volatility as these assumptions change over time. In addition, the
forward-looking assumptions revert to historical data when they reach the point where future assumptions are no longer estimated.
We believe that the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2020 is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio and in credit
commitments outstanding as of that date based on the information available. If the economic conditions continue to decline, the Bank may need additional
provisions for credit losses in future periods.

The changes in valuation inputs and assumptions principally reflect changes in discount rates and prepayment speeds, which are primarily affected by changes in

Residential mortgage servicing rights are adjusted to fair value with the change recorded in residential mortgage banking revenue. The value of servicing rights can
fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and other factors. Generally, as interest rates decline and borrowers are able to take advantage of a refinance incentive,
prepayments increase and the total value of existing servicing rights declines as expectations of future servicing fees collections decline. Historically, the fair value
of our residential mortgage servicing rights will increase as market rates for mortgage loans rise and decrease if market rates fall. Mortgage refinance volumes
remain elevated due to low mortgage rates during the current periods, which caused accelerated prepayments and higher expectations for prepayment speeds in the
future.
The fair value of the MSR asset decreased by $19.7 million due to the passage of time, including the impact of regularly scheduled repayments, paydowns and
payoffs, as compared to the decrease of $25.4 million in 2019. The fair value of the MSR asset decreased $53.4 million due to changes to the valuation model
inputs including changes in discount rates and estimated prepayment speeds caused by the low mortgage rate environment during the year ended December 31,
2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the valuation inputs, such as discount rates and estimated prepayment speeds, decreased the MSR fair value by $19.4
million.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had goodwill of $2.7 million and $1.8 billion, respectively. Goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion was recorded
during the year ended December 31, 2020, based on an interim impairment analysis triggered by the decline in interest rates and economic impacts of COVID-19,
as well as declines in the Company's stock price. The impairment was a result of market volatility and forecasts for a prolonged low interest rate environment, as
well as higher credit losses expected due to the forecasted economic downturn. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no goodwill impairment losses
recognized.
At December 31, 2020, we had other intangible assets of $13.4 million, compared to $18.3 million at December 31, 2019, which decreased as a result of
amortization of the other intangible assets of $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. We amortize other intangible assets on an accelerated or
straight-line basis over an estimated ten year life.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits were $24.6 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $2.1 billion, or 10%, compared to year-end 2019. The increase is mainly attributable to
growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits, offset by a decline in time deposits. The increase in non-maturity deposit account categories is driven by increased
customer savings rates as customers look to increase their own liquidity in this uncertain environment. The decrease in time deposits is mainly due to lower
brokered deposits as the Company has allowed these higher-cost deposits to runoff, as well as the Company reducing its exception pricing on customer money
market and time deposits.

Included in uninsured deposits are brokered deposits of $144.9 million, that exceed the FDIC insurance limits of $250,000.
The Company's total brokered deposits were $424.1 million or 2% of total deposits, at December 31, 2020, compared to $1.2 billion or 5%, at December 31, 2019.
BORROWINGS
At December 31, 2020, the Bank had outstanding $375.4 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and no outstanding federal funds purchased
balances. The Bank had outstanding borrowings of $771.5 million at December 31, 2020, consisting of advances from the FHLB, which decreased $135.2 million
since December 31, 2019 as a result of maturity payoffs, offset by new advances. The Company allowed higher cost borrowings to mature, using our excess
liquidity.
JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
We had junior subordinated debentures with carrying values of $343.5 million and $363.3 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease is
mainly due to the $18.8 million decline in the fair value for the junior subordinated debentures elected to be carried at fair value, which is due mostly to the implied
forward curve shifting lower and an increase in the credit spread. As of December 31, 2020, substantially all of the junior subordinated debentures had interest rates
that are adjustable on a quarterly basis based on a spread over three month LIBOR.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW
The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank's ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our customers who
either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. The Bank's liquidity strategy is focused on an elevated on-balance sheet
liquidity position to further enhance flexibility due to the increased market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the
Company believes that it has sufficient cash and access to borrowings to effectively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic as well as meet its working capital
and other needs. The Company will continue to prudently evaluate and expand liquidity sources, including the management of availability and utilization of our
borrowing sources.
We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. One source of funds includes public deposits. Individual
state laws require banks to collateralize public deposits, typically as a percentage of their public deposit balance in excess of FDIC insurance. Public deposits
represent 7% and 9% of total deposits at December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively. The amount of collateral required varies by state and may also vary by
institution within each state, depending on the individual state's risk assessment of depository institutions. Changes in the pledging requirements for uninsured
public deposits may require pledging additional collateral to secure these deposits, drawing on other sources of funds to finance the purchase of assets that would
be available to be pledged to satisfy a pledging requirement, or could lead to the withdrawal of certain public deposits from the Bank. In addition to liquidity from
core deposits and the repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities, the Bank can utilize established uncommitted federal funds lines of credit, sell
securities under agreements to repurchase, borrow on a secured basis from the FHLB or issue brokered certificates of deposit.
The Bank had available lines of credit with the FHLB totaling $6.2 billion at December 31, 2020, subject to certain collateral requirements, namely the amount of
pledged loans and investment securities. The Bank had available lines of credit with the Federal Reserve totaling $475.3 million, subject to certain collateral
requirements, namely the amount of certain pledged loans. The Bank had uncommitted federal funds line of credit agreements with additional financial institutions
totaling $460.0 million at December 31, 2020. Availability of these lines is subject to federal funds balances available for loan and continued borrower eligibility.
These lines are intended to support short-term liquidity needs, and the agreements may restrict consecutive day usage. The Bank would also have additional
funding available through the Federal Reserve PPP Liquidity Facility to provide funding related to PPP loans, but has not utilized this facility to date.
The Company is a separate entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are obtained from dividends
declared and paid by the Bank. There were $213.0 million of dividends paid by the Bank to the Company in 2020. There are statutory and regulatory provisions
that limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The Company recorded a net loss of $6.92 per diluted common share for the year ended
December 31, 2020, due to a $1.8 billion goodwill impairment charge recorded during the period. As a result, the Company has an accumulated deficit, instead of
retained earnings at December 31, 2020.
Due to the accumulated deficit, the Company is required to notify the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System prior to declaring and paying a cash
dividend to our shareholders and may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects. Additionally, the Company is required to seek FDIC and Oregon Division of Financial
Regulation approval for quarterly dividends from Umpqua Bank to the Company. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company changed the timing of its dividend to
shareholders from an intra-quarter announcement to after quarterly earnings are released. The shift in announcement timing was made to provide the Company’s
Board of Directors and regulators the opportunity to review final quarterly financial results and financial projections prior to approval of any dividends. The
Company expects to continue this cadence for dividend payments in future quarters.
As disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by operating activities was $93.8 million during 2020, with the difference between
cash provided by operating activities and net loss consisting primarily of proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale of $6.8 billion, non-cash goodwill
impairment of $1.8 billion, as well as the provision for credit losses of $204.9 million, offset by originations of loans held for sale of $6.7 billion, the gain on sale
of loans of $289.2 million, and the increase in other assets of $209.8 million. This compares to net cash used in operating activities of $80.5 million during 2019,
with the difference between cash used in operating activities and net income largely consisting of originations of loans held for sale of $3.1 billion, the increase in
other assets of $138.0 million, the gain on sale of loans of $95.4 million, and the gain on equity securities of $83.5 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of
loans held for sale of $2.8 billion, as well as the provision for loan and lease loss of $72.5 million.

Table of Contents
Net cash of $960.1 million used in investing activities during 2020 consisted principally of $867.7 million in purchases of investment securities available for sale,
$862.1 million of net change in loans and leases, and net cash paid in divestiture of stores of $171.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from investment securities
available for sale of $828.8 million and proceeds from sale of loans and leases of $111.9 million. This compares to net cash of $550.2 million used in investing
activities during 2019, which consisted principally of net changes in loans and leases of $1.1 billion, purchases of investment securities available for sale of $698.0
million, and purchase of restricted equity securities of $220.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from investment securities available for sale of $918.7 million,
proceeds from sale of loans and leases of $251.8 million and the redemption of restricted equity securities of $214.0 million.
Net cash of $2.1 billion provided by financing activities during 2020 primarily consisted of $2.3 billion increase in net deposits and proceeds from borrowings of
$600.0 million, partially offset by repayment of debt of $735.0 million and dividends paid on common stock of $185.0 million. This compares to net cash of $1.4
billion provided by financing activities during 2019, which consisted primarily of $1.4 billion increase in net deposits and $940.7 million proceeds from
borrowings, partially offset by repayment of borrowings of $785.7 million and dividends paid on common stock of $185.1 million.
Although we expect the Bank's and the Company's liquidity positions to remain satisfactory during 2021, it is possible that our deposit balances may not be
maintained at previous levels due to pricing pressure, store consolidations, or customers' spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, in order to
generate deposit growth, our pricing may need to be adjusted in a manner that results in increased interest expense on deposits.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2020 was $2.7 billion, a decrease of $1.6 billion from December 31, 2019. The decrease in shareholders' equity during the
year ended was principally due to net loss of $1.5 billion, which is mainly related to the goodwill impairment as of March 31, 2020, which resulted in an
accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was also due to common stock dividends declared of $139.5 million, offset by other comprehensive
income, net of tax of $93.2 million.
The Federal Reserve Board has in place guidelines for risk-based capital requirements applicable to U.S. banks and bank/financial holding companies. These risk-
based capital guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by regulation, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off-balance sheet.
Refer to the discussion of the capital adequacy requirements in Supervision and Regulation in Item 1 of this 10-K.
Under the Basel III guidelines, capital strength is measured in three tiers, which are used in conjunction with risk-adjusted assets to determine the risk-based capital
ratios. The guidelines require an 8% total risk-based capital ratio, of which 6% must be Tier 1 capital and 4.5% must be CET1. Our CET1 capital primarily
includes shareholders' equity less certain deductions for goodwill and other intangibles, net of taxes, net unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities, net of tax, net
unrealized gains (losses) related to fair value of liabilities, net of tax, and certain deferred tax assets that arise from tax loss and credit carry-forwards, and totaled
$2.6 billion at December 31, 2020. Tier 1 capital is primarily comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital, less certain additional deductions applied during the
phase-in period, totaled $2.6 billion at December 31, 2020. Tier 2 capital components include all, or a portion of, the allowance for credit losses in excess of Tier 1
statutory limits and combined trust preferred security debt issuances. The total of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital components is referred to as Total Risk-Based
Capital, and was $3.3 billion at December 31, 2020. The percentage ratios, as calculated under the guidelines, were 12.31%, 12.31% and 15.63% for CET1, Tier 1
and Total Risk-Based Capital, respectively, at December 31, 2020. The CET1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios at December 31, 2019 were 11.20%,
11.20% and 13.96%, respectively.
A minimum leverage ratio is required in addition to the risk-based capital standards and is defined as period-end shareholders' equity, less accumulated other
comprehensive income, goodwill and deposit-based intangibles, divided by average assets as adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Although a
minimum leverage ratio of 4% is required for the highest-rated financial holding companies that are not undertaking significant expansion programs, the Federal
Reserve Board may require a financial holding company to maintain a leverage ratio greater than 4% if it is experiencing or anticipating significant growth or is
operating with less than well-diversified risks in the opinion of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board uses the leverage and risk-based capital
ratios to assess capital adequacy of banks and financial holding companies. Our consolidated leverage ratios at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 8.98% and
9.16%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's regulatory
capital category.
Along with enactment of the CARES Act, the federal bank regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule to provide banking organizations that are required to
implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital by up to two years, with a three-year transition period to
phase out the cumulative benefit to regulatory capital provided during the two-year delay. The Company has elected this capital relief and will delay the estimated
regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made no capital contributions to the Bank. At December 31, 2020, all four of the capital ratios of the
Bank exceeded the minimum ratios required by federal regulation. Management monitors these ratios on a regular basis to ensure that the Bank remains within
regulatory guidelines.
During 2020, Umpqua's Board of Directors approved cash dividends of $0.21 for all quarters. Subsequent to the first quarter dividend payment in April 2020, the
Company shifted to an intra-quarter dividend timing to provide the Company’s Board of Directors and regulators the opportunity to review final quarterly financial
results and financial projections prior to approval of any dividends. The second quarter dividend was paid in August 2020, and the third quarter dividend was paid
in November 2020. On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend for 2020 in the amount of $0.21 per common share based on fourth quarter 2020
performance, which will be paid on February 26, 2021.

These dividends were made pursuant to our existing dividend policy and in consideration of, among other things, earnings, regulatory capital levels, the overall
payout ratio and expected asset growth. We expect that the dividend rate will be reassessed on a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors in accordance with the
dividend policy.
The payment of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and subject to a number of factors, including results of operations, general
business conditions, growth, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Further, our ability to pay future cash dividends is
subject to certain regulatory requirements and restrictions discussed in the Supervision and Regulation section in Item 1 above.
The following table presents cash dividends declared and dividend payout ratios (dividends declared per common share divided by basic earnings per common

The Company's share repurchase plan, which was first approved by the Board and announced in August 2003, provided authority to repurchase up to 15 million
shares of our common stock. The Board of Directors has approved extensions of the repurchase plan to July 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 9.5
million shares remained available for repurchase. The Company repurchased 331,000 shares under the repurchase plan in 2020. The timing and amount of future
repurchases will depend upon the market price for our common stock, securities laws restricting repurchases, asset growth, earnings, and our capital plan. In
addition, our stock plans provide that option and award holders may pay for the exercise price and tax withholding in part or whole by tendering previously held
shares.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risk arises primarily from credit risk and interest rate risk inherent in our investment, lending and financing activities. To manage our credit risk, we
rely on various controls, including our underwriting standards and loan policies, internal loan monitoring and periodic credit reviews as well as our allowance for
credit losses methodology. Additionally, the Company's Enterprise Risk and Credit, and Audit and Compliance Committees provide board oversight over the
Company's loan portfolio risk management functions, the Company's Finance and Capital Committee provides board oversight over the Company's investment
portfolio and hedging risk management functions, and the Bank's Audit and Compliance Committee provides board oversight of the ACL process and reviews and
approves the ACL methodology.
Interest rate risk is the potential for loss resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates on the Company's net interest income. The absolute level and
volatility of interest rates can have a significant impact on our profitability. The objective of interest rate risk management is to identify and manage the sensitivity
of net interest income to changing interest rates to achieve our overall financial objectives. The risk appetite for interest rate risk is informed by management based
on economic considerations and various other considerations, and set by the board, and establishes the thresholds and limits that the Company operates within. Net
interest income and the fair value of financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. We manage exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates through actions that are established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee. The ALCO meets monthly and has responsibility for developing
asset/liability management policy, formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings and reviewing interest rate
sensitivity. The Board of Directors' Finance and Capital Committee provides oversight of the asset/liability management process, reviews the results of the interest
rate risk analyses prepared for the ALCO and approves the asset/liability policy on an annual basis.
We measure our interest rate risk position using net interest income simulation on a monthly basis. Quarterly, we measure our interest rate risk position using three
methods: (i) gap analysis, (ii) net interest income simulation; and (iii) economic value of equity (fair value of financial instruments) modeling. The results of these
analyses are reviewed by ALCO monthly (as applicable) and the Finance and Capital Committee quarterly. If hypothetical changes to interest rates cause changes
to our simulated net interest income simulation or economic value of equity modeling outside of our pre-established internal limits, we may adjust the asset and
liability size or mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
LIBOR Transition
In November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. Benchmark Administration, LIBOR’s administrator, announced its intention to continue publishing most
tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR until June 30, 2023. The Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced support for this development,
signaling an extension from its prior communication that it would no longer require panel banks to submit rates for LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference
Rates Committee is a group of private-market participants convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the New York Fed to help ensure a successful transition
from U.S. dollar LIBOR to a more robust reference rate, its recommended alternative, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. In addition, the ARRC has noted that
though near-term interim steps in the transition may be delayed given the current economic environment with the global pandemic, it remains clear that the
financial system should continue with transition efforts. U.S. regulators continue to encourage banks to transition away from LIBOR as soon as practicable and also
communicated that banks should not enter into new transactions referencing LIBOR after December 31, 2021. The Company holds financial instruments that will
be impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, primarily certain loans, derivatives, and junior subordinated debentures that use LIBOR as the benchmark rate. The
Company anticipates these financial instruments will require transition to new reference rates. This transition will occur over time as many of these arrangements
do not have an alternative rate referenced in their contracts. The Company has established an enterprise-wide transition program with program deliverables
including business strategy, product design and pricing strategy, instrument contract remediation, and systems and processes. These deliverables include milestones
that address operational changes, targeted communications and education planning, and to identify, assess, monitor and remediate risks associated with the
transition.

Gap Analysis
A gap analysis provides information about the volume and repricing characteristics and relationship between the amounts of interest-sensitive assets and interest-
bearing liabilities at a point in time. An effective interest rate strategy attempts to match how the volume of interest sensitive assets and interest-bearing liabilities
respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable time frame, thereby minimizing the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. Gap analysis
measures interest rate sensitivity at a point in time as the difference between the estimated volumes of asset and liability cash flows or repricing characteristics
across various time horizons: immediate to three months, four to twelve months, one to five years, over five years, and on a cumulative basis. The differences are
known as interest sensitivity gaps. The main focus of this interest rate management tool is the gap sensitivity identified as the cumulative one year gap. As of
December 31, 2020, the cumulative one-year gap has increased from a negative 6% in 2019 to a positive 2% in 2020. The increase from the prior year is primarily
a result of short duration PPP loan growth, higher on-balance sheet interest-bearing cash levels, higher loans held for sale balances, combined with a decrease in
balances of short duration time deposits, all partially offset by an increase in non-maturity deposit balances and an increase in short duration term borrowing
balances as they move closer to their maturity date.
The table below sets forth interest sensitivity gaps for these different intervals as of December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
The gap table has inherent limitations and actual results may vary significantly from the results suggested by the gap table. The gap table is unable to incorporate
certain balance sheet characteristics or factors. The gap table assumes a static balance sheet and looks at the repricing of existing assets and liabilities without
consideration for new loans and deposits that reflect a more current interest rate environment. Changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can
either increase or decrease the net interest margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the interest rate spread between an asset and its supporting
liability can vary significantly, while the timing of repricing for both the asset and the liability remains the same, thus impacting net interest income. This
characteristic is referred to as basis risk and generally relates to the possibility that the repricing index of short-term assets is different from those of short-term
liabilities. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities that are not reflected in the interest rate
sensitivity analysis. These prepayments may have a significant impact on our net interest margin.
For example, unlike the net interest income simulation, the interest rate risk profile of certain deposit products and floating rate loans that have reached their floors
cannot be captured effectively in a gap table. Although the table shows the amount of certain assets and liabilities scheduled to reprice in a given time frame, it
does not reflect when or to what extent such repricing may actually occur. For example, interest-bearing checking, money market and savings deposits are shown to
reprice in the first three months, but we may choose to reprice these deposits more slowly and incorporate only a portion of the movement in market rates based on
market conditions at that time. Alternatively, a loan which has reached its ceiling may not reprice upwards even though market interest rates increase causing such
loan to act like a fixed rate loan regardless of its scheduled repricing date. The gap table as presented cannot factor in the flexibility we believe we have in repricing
deposits or the floors on our loans.
Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity gap analysis may not provide an accurate or complete assessment of our exposure to changes in interest rates. We
believe the estimated effect of a change in interest rates is better reflected in our net interest income and economic value of equity simulations.
Net Interest Income Simulation
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. These repricing characteristics are
the time frames within which the interest bearing assets and liabilities are subject to change in interest rates either at replacement, repricing or maturity during the
life of the instruments. Interest rate sensitivity management focuses on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during
periods of changes in market interest rates.
Management utilizes an interest rate simulation model to estimate the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. This model is an interest
rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. This model has inherent limitations and these results
are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at one point in time. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions for each scenario, including
changes in the size or mix of the balance sheet, new volume rates for new balances, the rate of prepayments, and the correlation of pricing to changes in the interest
rate environment. For example, for interest bearing deposit balances we may choose to reprice these balances more slowly and incorporate only a portion of the
movement in market rates based on market conditions at that time. Our primary analysis assumes a static balance sheet, both in terms of the total size and mix of
our balance sheet, meaning cash flows from the maturity or repricing of assets and liabilities are redeployed in the same instrument at modeled rates.
Changes that could vary significantly from our assumptions include loan and deposit growth or contraction, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding
sources, the performance of loans accounted for under the expected cash flow method, and future asset/liability management decisions, all of which may have
significant effects on our net interest income. Also, some of the assumptions made in the simulation model may not materialize and unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur. In addition, the simulation model does not take into account any future actions management could undertake to mitigate the impact of
interest rate changes or the impact a change in interest rates may have on our credit risk profile, loan prepayment estimates and spread relationships, which can
change regularly. Actions we could undertake include, but are not limited to, growing or contracting the balance sheet, changing the composition of the balance
sheet, or changing our pricing strategies for loans or deposits.

The estimated impact on our net interest income over a time horizon of one year as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are indicated in the table below. For the
scenarios shown, the interest rate simulation assumes a parallel and sustained shift in market interest rates ratably over a twelve-month period and no change in the
composition or size of the balance sheet. For example, the "up 200 basis points" scenario is based on a theoretical increase in market rates of 16.7 basis points per
month for twelve months applied to the balance sheet of December 31 for each respective year.

Asset sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment the Company's net interest income would increase and in a decreasing interest rate environment
the Company's net interest income would decrease. Liability sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment a Company's net interest income would
decrease and in a decreasing interest rate environment the Company's net interest income would increase. For all years presented, we were "asset-sensitive"
meaning we expect our net interest income to increase as market rates increase and to decrease as market rates decrease. The relative level of asset sensitivity as of
December 31, 2020 has increased from the prior periods presented primarily due to an increase in sensitivity from higher interest-bearing cash balances, and a
shortened duration of the loan and lease portfolio, combined with a decrease in sensitivity in time deposits due to lower balances, all partially offset by an increase
in sensitivity of term borrowings as they move closer to maturity. In the decreasing interest rate environments, we show a decline in net interest income as interest-
bearing assets re-price lower while deposits remain at or near their floors. The decline in sensitivity from prior year reflects lower deposit rates compared to prior
year and are therefore closer to the floors.
It should be noted that although net interest income simulation results are presented for down rate scenarios, most market rate reach zero before declining the full
100 basis points, and our simulation parameters floor rates at zero and assume they do not go negative. Therefore, results are less sensitive in down-rate exposure
as compared to prior year.
Interest rate sensitivity in the first year of the net interest income simulation for increasing interest rate scenarios is negatively impacted by the cost of non-maturity
deposits repricing immediately while interest earnings assets (primarily the loan and leases held for investment portfolio) reprice at a slower rate based upon the
instrument repricing characteristics (refer to the Interest Sensitivity Gap table above). As a result, interest sensitivity in increasing interest rates scenarios improves
in subsequent years as these assets reprice. Conversely, in a declining interest scenario, net interest income is negatively impacted by assets re-pricing lower while
deposits remain at or near their floors. Management also prepares and reviews the long-term trends of the net interest income simulation to measure and monitor
risk. This analysis assumes the same rate shift over the first year of the scenario as described above, and holding steady thereafter. The estimated impact on our net
interest income over the first and second-year time horizons as it relates to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is indicated in the table below.

In general, we view the net interest income model results as more relevant to the Company's current operating profile (a going concern), and we primarily manage
our balance sheet based on this information.
Economic Value of Equity
Another interest rate sensitivity measure we utilize is the quantification of economic value changes for all financial assets and liabilities, given an increase or
decrease in market interest rates. This approach provides a longer-term view of interest rate risk, capturing all future expected cash flows. Assets and liabilities
with option characteristics are measured based on different interest rate path valuations using statistical rate simulation techniques. The projections are by their
nature forward-looking and therefore inherently uncertain and include various assumptions regarding cash flows and discount rates.
The table below illustrates the effects of various instantaneous market interest rate changes on the fair values of financial assets and liabilities compared to the
corresponding carrying values and fair values:

As of December 31, 2020, our economic value of equity analysis indicates an asset sensitive profile in all increasing interest rate scenarios. This suggests a sudden
or sustained increase in market interest rates would result in an increase in our estimated economic value of equity. In declining interest rate scenarios, our
economic value of equity indicates a liability sensitive profile and is a result of the decline in the value of the core deposit intangible being muted from market rates
near their floors. In increasing interest rate scenarios, our overall sensitivity to changes in market interest rates increased from the prior year primarily due to an
increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances which contribute significant economic value in a rising rate environment. As of December 31, 2020, our estimated
economic value of equity (fair value of financial assets and liabilities) was slightly below our book value of equity due to the decline in the economic value of
deposits in the current low interest rate environment.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
A financial institution's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are
monetary in nature, with relatively little investment in fixed assets or inventories. Inflation has an important impact on the growth of total assets and the resulting
need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain appropriate capital ratios. We believe that the impact of inflation on financial results
depends on management's ability to react to changes in interest rates and, by such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance. We have an
asset/liability management program which attempts to manage interest rate sensitivity. In addition, periodic reviews of banking services and products are conducted
to adjust pricing in view of current and expected costs.
Our financial statements included in Item 8 below have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which
requires us to measure financial position and operating results principally in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or
recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on our results of operations is through increased operating costs, such as compensation,
occupancy and business development expenses. In management's opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far
greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. Although interest rates are influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the
same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including U.S. fiscal and
monetary policy and general national and global economic conditions.

2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Because management's assessment and our audit were conducted to meet the reporting
requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), management's assessment and our audit of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the
instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for credit losses on loans and leases effective January 1, 2020,
due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments (ASC 326). The adoption of the new credit loss standard and its subsequent application is also communicated as a critical audit matter below.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to
be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken
as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for Credit Losses — Refer to Notes 1, 4, and 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020. The estimate of current expected credit losses for loans and other financial instruments under ASC 326 is
based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts,
and management judgment is required to determine which loss estimation methods are appropriate for their circumstances. The Company adopted ASC 326 using
the modified retrospective method and recorded an initial estimate of the allowance for credit losses (ACL), which included an allowance for credit losses on loans
and leases (ACLLL) of $207.6 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments (RUC) of $8.3 million, resulting in a cumulative effect of an accounting change
adjustment to retained earnings of $40.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $204.9 million and
the ACLLL and RUC were $328.4 million and $20.3 million respectively as of December 31, 2020.
The Company utilizes models, some of which are complex, to obtain reasonable and supportable forecasts of credit losses. These models use inputs that include
forecasted future economic conditions and that are dependent upon specific macroeconomic variables relevant to each of the Company's loan and lease portfolios.
Along with the quantitative factors produced by the models, management also considers qualitative factors when determining the ACL.
Given the significance of the ACL, the complexity of the models, and the management judgments required for the selection of appropriate models, forecasting
economic conditions, and determining qualitative adjustments, performing audit procedures to evaluate the ACL requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an
increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our credit specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the ACL included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the selection of forecasted economic assumptions used in the models, model development and maintenance,
data transfers in to and out of the models, and overall model results.
• We involved credit specialists to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness and conceptual soundness of the methodologies applied in the credit loss
estimation models.
• We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the models.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the economic scenario selected by management for use in the models.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the qualitative adjustments within the ACL estimate.

Goodwill – Wholesale and Retail Bank Reporting Units — Refer to Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill for the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units as of March 31, 2020, by comparing the
fair value of each of these reporting units with their carrying amount. The Company estimated the fair value of these reporting units using an income approach that
estimated the fair values by discounting management's projections of the reporting units' cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash
flows beyond the final year of projected results, discounted using a discount rate. Upon completing the quantitative impairment analysis, the Company recorded a
goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion, which represented the entire amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units.
Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units, performing audit
procedures to evaluate the appropriateness of the income approach valuation methodology and the reasonableness of management's estimates and assumptions
related to forecasted cash flows, the terminal value, and the discount rate required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the
need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the cash flow forecast, terminal value and discount rate assumptions used by management to estimate the fair value of the
Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over management's goodwill impairment evaluation, including controls over the determination of the fair value of
the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units, including the cash flow projection and the terminal value and discount rate assumptions.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, the terminal value assumption, and the
discount rate, which included developing a range of independent estimates for the terminal value and discount rate assumptions and comparing those to
the assumptions selected by management.
• We evaluated the reasonableness of the cash flow forecasts for the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units considering historic operating results
and changes in economic conditions including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• We performed a retrospective review of the cash flow forecasts for the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units by comparing such forecasts to
actual results through December 31, 2020.
• We tested the mathematical accuracy of the valuation model.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations-Umpqua Holdings Corporation (the "Company" or "Umpqua") is a financial holding company with headquarters in Portland, Oregon, that is
engaged primarily in the business of commercial and retail banking and the delivery of retail brokerage services. The Company provides a wide range of banking,
wealth management, mortgage and other financial services to corporate, institutional and individual customers through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary
Umpqua Bank. The Company engages in the retail brokerage business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Umpqua Investments, Inc.. The Bank also has a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Financial Pacific Leasing Inc., a commercial equipment leasing company.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examination by these regulatory agencies.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation-The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and with prevailing practices within the banking and securities industries. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to
make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing
rights, the fair value of junior subordinated debentures, and the valuation of goodwill.
Consolidation-The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Bank and Umpqua
Investments. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 23 wholly-
owned trusts that were formed to issue trust preferred securities and related common securities of the Trusts. The Company has not consolidated the accounts of the
Trusts in its consolidated financial statements as they are considered to be variable interest entities for which the Company is not a primary beneficiary. As a result,
the junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to the Trusts are reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as junior subordinated
debentures.
Subsequent events-The Company has evaluated events and transactions through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued for potential
recognition or disclosure.
Reclassifications-Certain amounts reported in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents-Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and temporary investments which are federal funds sold and interest
bearing balances due from other banks. Cash and cash equivalents generally have a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.
Equity and Other Securities-Equity and other securities are carried at fair value with realized and unrealized gains or losses recorded in non-interest income.
Investment Securities Available for Sale-Debt securities are classified as available for sale if the Company intends and has the ability to hold those securities for
an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a debt security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors,
including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other
similar factors. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related investment security as an adjustment to yield using the effective
interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

Table of Contents
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in
earnings. Unrealized holding gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax. When the fair
value of an available-for-sale debt security falls below the amortized cost basis, it is evaluated to determine if any of the decline in value is attributable to credit
loss. Decreases in fair value attributable to credit loss would be recorded directly to earnings with a corresponding allowance for credit losses, limited by the
amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If the credit quality subsequently improves, the allowance would be reversed up to a maximum of
the previously recorded credit losses. If the Company intends to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company
will be required to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost basis, the entire fair value adjustment would be immediately recognized in earnings with
no corresponding allowance for credit losses.
Loans Held for Sale-The Company has elected to account for residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. Fair value is determined based on quoted
secondary market prices for similar loans, including the implicit fair value of embedded servicing rights. The change in fair value of loans held for sale is primarily
driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of the related servicing asset, resulting in revaluation adjustments to the
recorded fair value. The inputs used in the fair value measurements are considered Level 2 inputs. The use of the fair value option allows the change in the fair
value of loans to more effectively offset the change in the fair value of derivative instruments that are used as economic hedges to loans held for sale. Loan
origination fees and direct origination costs are recognized immediately in net income. Interest income on loans held for sale is included in interest income and
recognized when earned. Loans held for sale are placed on nonaccrual in a manner consistent with loans held for investment. The Company recognizes the gain or
loss on the sale of loans when the sales criteria for derecognition are met.
Allowance for Credit Losses-The Bank has established an Allowance for Credit Loss Committee, which is responsible for, among other things, regularly reviewing
the ACL methodology, including allowance levels and ensuring that it is designed and applied in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Bank's Audit and Compliance Committee provides board oversight of the ACL process and reviews and approves the ACL methodology on a quarterly basis.
CECL is not prescriptive in the methodology used to determine the expected credit loss estimate. Instead, management has flexibility in selecting the methodology.
The expected credit losses must be estimated over a financial asset's contractual term, adjusted for prepayments utilizing quantitative and qualitative factors. There
are also specific considerations for Purchased Credit-Deteriorated, Troubled Debt Restructured, and Collateral Dependent Loans.
The estimate of current expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that
affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. Adjustments are made to
historical loss experience to reflect differences in asset-specific risk characteristics, such as underwriting standards, portfolio mix or asset terms, and differences in
economic conditions – both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. When the Company is not able to make or obtain reasonable and
supportable forecasts for the entire life of the financial asset, it has estimated expected credit losses for the remaining life using an approach that reverts to
historical credit loss information for the longer-term portion of the asset's life.
The Company utilizes complex models to obtain reasonable and supportable forecasts. Most of the models calculate two predictive metrics: the probability of
default and loss given default. The PD measures the probability that a loan will default within a given time horizon and primarily measures the adequacy of the
debtor's cash flow as the primary source of repayment of the loan or lease. The LGD is the expected loss which would be realized presuming a default has occurred
and primarily measures the value of the collateral or other secondary source of repayment related to the collateral.
Management believes that the ACL was adequate as of December 31, 2020. There is, however, no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed the levels
provided for in the ACL and could possibly result in additional charges to the provision for credit losses.
Acquired Loans and Leases-Loans and leases purchased without more-than-insignificant credit deterioration, are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date.
However, loans and leases purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration will be recorded with their applicable allowance for credit loss to determine
the amortized cost basis.
77
Table of Contents
Originated Loans and Leases-Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned income and any deferred fees or costs. All discounts and
premiums are recognized over the contractual life of the loan as yield adjustments. Leases are recorded at the amount of minimum future lease payments receivable
and estimated residual value of the leased equipment, net of unearned income and any deferred fees. Initial direct costs related to lease originations are deferred as
part of the investment in direct financing leases and amortized over their term using the effective interest method. Unearned lease income is amortized over the
term using the effective interest method.
Income Recognition on Non-Accrual Loans-Loans are classified as non-accrual if the collection of principal and interest is doubtful. Generally, this occurs when
a commercial or commercial real estate loan is past due beyond its maturity, principal payment, or interest payment due date by 90 days or more, unless such loans
are well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans that are less than 90 days past due may also be classified as non-accrual if repayment in full of principal
and/or interest is in doubt.
Generally, when a loan is classified as non-accrual, all uncollected accrued interest is reversed from interest income and the accrual of interest income is
terminated. In addition, any cash payments subsequently received are applied as a reduction of principal outstanding. In cases where the future collectability of the
principal balance in full is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. A loan may be restored to accrual status when the borrower's financial
condition improves so that full collection of future contractual payments is considered likely. For those loans placed on non-accrual status due to payment
delinquency, return to accrual status will typically not occur until the borrower demonstrates repayment ability over a period of not less than six months.
Collateral Dependent Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings-A loan or lease is considered collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided
substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company's classification of CDLs includes:
non-homogeneous non-accrual loans and leases; non-homogeneous loans determined by individual credit review; homogeneous non-accrual leases and equipment
finance agreements; and homogeneous real estate secured loans that have been charged down to net realizable value or the government guaranteed balance. Except
for homogeneous leases and equipment finance agreements, the expected credit losses for CDLs will be measured using the fair value of the underlying collateral,
adjusted for costs to sell when applicable, less the amortized cost basis of the financial asset. The Company may also use the loan's observable market price, if
available. If the value of the CDL is determined to be less than the recorded amount of the loan, a charge-off will be taken. To determine the expected credit loss
for homogeneous leases or equipment finance agreements, the LGD calculated by the CECL model will be utilized. When a homogeneous lease or equipment
finance agreement becomes 181 days past due, it is fully charged-off.
Loans are reported as TDR loans when, due to borrower financial difficulties, the Bank grants a more than insignificant concession it would not otherwise be
willing to offer for a loan. Once a loan has been classified as a TDR, it continues in the classification until it has paid in full or it has demonstrated six months of
payment performance and was determined to have been modified at market rate terms. TDRs, including reasonably expected TDRs, are individually recognized
and measured for expected credit loss in one of two ways: when a TDR meets the definition of a CDL, it is measured using the fair value of the underlying
collateral, adjusted for costs to sell when applicable; otherwise, a discounted cash flow analysis is utilized to measure the expected credit loss for a TDR. The
expected cash flow for a TDR is discounted based on the pre-modification rate and the expected remaining life.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was passed, which, among other things, provided relief for Banks related to loan
modifications for accounting purposes. Specifically, section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure
requirements for TDRs. In addition to the CARES Act, bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance indicating that a lender could conclude that the
modifications under section 4013 of the CARES Act or the interagency guidance are not a TDR if certain criteria are met. The guidance also provides that loans
generally will not be adversely classified if the short-term modification is related to COVID-19 relief programs. The Company has followed the guidance under the
CARES Act, the interagency guidance, and government-mandated programs related to these loan modifications. Loans modified under section 4013 of the CARES
Act or the interagency guidance generally maintain their pre-COVID-19 delinquency status and are classified as performing loans. If it is deemed the modification
is not short-term, not COVID-19 related or the customer does not meet the criteria under the guidance to be scoped out of troubled debt restructuring classification,
the Company evaluates the loan modification under its existing framework which requires modifications that result in a concession without appropriate
compensation to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to be accounted for as a TDR.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments-A reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level that, in the opinion of management, is adequate to absorb
expected losses associated with the Bank's commitment to lend funds under existing agreements, such as letters or lines of credit. The RUC calculation utilizes the
allowance for credit loss on loans and leases rates, probability of default risk ratings, and utilization rates based on the economic expectations over the contractual
life of the commitment. The reserve is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. These estimates are evaluated on a regular basis
and adjustments are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. Draws on unfunded commitments that are considered uncollectible at the
time funds are advanced are charged to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. Provisions for unfunded commitment losses are added to the reserve for
unfunded commitments, which is included in the Other Liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheets.
Loan and Lease Fees and Direct Loan Origination Costs-Origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs for loans and leases held for
investment are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the loans and leases. PPP loan related net fees are recognized over the
contractual life of the loans as a yield adjustment. When these PPP loans are forgiven, the recognition of the net deferred fees is accelerated.
Restricted Equity Securities-Restricted equity securities consists mostly of the Bank's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines stock that is carried
at par value, which reasonably approximates its fair value. Management periodically evaluates FHLB stock for other-than-temporary or permanent impairment.
Management's determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by recognizing
temporary declines in value.
As a member of the FHLB system, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding
mortgages, total assets, or FHLB advances. The Bank may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the minimum required investment. Stock
redemptions are at the discretion of the FHLB.
Premises and Equipment-Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the estimated
useful life of equipment, generally three to ten years, on a straight-line or accelerated basis. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of premises, up
to 39 years, on a straight-line or accelerated basis. Generally, leasehold improvements are amortized or accreted over the life of the related lease, or the life of the
related asset, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for major renovations and betterments of the Company's premises and equipment are capitalized. The Company
purchases, as well as internally develops and customizes, certain software to enhance or perform internal business functions. Software development costs incurred
in the preliminary project stages are charged to non-interest expense. Costs associated with designing software configuration, installation, coding programs and
testing systems are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over three to seven years. Implementation costs incurred for software that is part of a
hosting arrangement are capitalized in other assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. In addition to annual impairment reviews,
management reviews long-lived assets anytime a change in circumstance indicates the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.
Operating Leases-The Company leases store locations, corporate office space, and equipment under non-cancelable leases. Leases with an initial term of 12
months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The leases contain various provisions for increases in rental rates, based either on changes in the published
Consumer Price Index or a predetermined escalation schedule. Substantially all of the leases provide the Company with one or more options to renew, with renewal
terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at management's sole discretion. The depreciable life of
assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The
Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company rents or subleases certain real
estate to third parties. The Company's sublease portfolio consists of operating leases of mainly former store locations or excess space in store or corporate facilities.
In addition to annual impairment reviews, management reviews right of use assets anytime a change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of these assets
may not be recoverable.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles-Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and other intangibles acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized
but instead is periodically tested for impairment. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized to their estimated residual values over their respective
estimated useful lives, and also reviewed for impairment. Amortization of intangible assets is included in non-interest expense.
79
Table of Contents
On at least an annual basis, goodwill is assessed for impairment at the reporting unit level either qualitatively or quantitatively. Additionally, the Company
performs a goodwill impairment evaluation on an interim basis when events or circumstances indicate impairment potentially exists. A significant amount of
judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others, a significant decline in expected future
cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the Company's stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business
climate; adverse action or assessment by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. If the qualitative assessment results indicate that it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount, an impairment charge would be recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the
total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights-The Company determines its classes of servicing assets based on the asset type being serviced along with the methods used
to manage the risk inherent in the servicing assets, which includes the market inputs used to value the servicing assets. The Company measures its residential
mortgage servicing assets at fair value and reports changes in fair value through earnings. Fair value adjustments encompass market-driven valuation changes and
the runoff in value that occurs from the passage of time, which are separately disclosed. Under the fair value method, the MSR is carried in the balance sheet at fair
value and the changes in fair value are reported in earnings under the caption residential mortgage banking revenue, net in the period in which the change occurs.
The expected life of the loans underlying the MSR can vary from management's estimates due to prepayments by borrowers, especially when rates change
significantly. Prepayments outside of management's estimates would impact the recorded value of the residential mortgage servicing rights. The value of the
residential mortgage servicing rights is also dependent upon the discount rate used in the model, which management reviews on an ongoing basis. A significant
increase in the discount rate would reduce the value of residential mortgage servicing rights.
GNMA Loan Sales-The Company originates government guaranteed loans which are sold to Government National Mortgage Association. Pursuant to GNMA
servicing guidelines, the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase certain delinquent loans (loans past due 90 days or more) sold to GNMA, if the loans meet
defined delinquent loan criteria. As a result of this unilateral right, once the delinquency criteria have been met, and regardless of whether the repurchase option has
been exercised, the Company accounts for the loans as if they had been repurchased. The Company recognizes these loans within loans and leases, net and also
recognizes a corresponding liability that is recorded in other liabilities. If the loan is repurchased, the liability is settled and the loan remains.
SBA/USDA Loans Sales, Servicing, and Commercial Servicing Asset-The Bank, on a limited basis, sells or transfers loans, including the guaranteed portion of
SBA and USDA loans (with servicing retained) for cash proceeds. The Bank records a servicing asset when it sells a loan and retains the servicing rights. The
servicing asset is recorded at fair value upon sale, and the fair value is estimated by discounting estimated net future cash flows from servicing using discount rates
that approximate current market rates and using estimated prepayment rates. Subsequent to initial recognition, the servicing rights are carried at the lower of
amortized cost or fair value, and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated net servicing income.
Revenue Recognition-The majority of the Company's revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives.
The Company recognizes income in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for these revenue sources. The Company's revenues that are within the
scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 are presented within non-interest income and include service charges on deposits, brokerage revenue, and
interchange income.
Revenue within the contracts with customers guidance is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. Revenue is
measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. When the amount of
consideration is variable, the Company will only recognize revenue to the extent that it is probable that the cumulative amount recognized will not be subject to a
significant reversal in the future. Substantially all of the Company's contracts with customers have expected durations of one year or less and payments are
typically due when or as the services are rendered or shortly thereafter. When third parties are involved in providing services to customers, the Company
recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it has control over those services being provided to the customer; otherwise, revenue is recognized for the net amount of
any fee or commission.
80
Table of Contents
Income Taxes-Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the
enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are
expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than
not, that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management's judgment that realization is "more likely than not." Uncertain tax positions that meet the more likely
than not recognition threshold are measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize. An uncertain tax position is measured at the amount of benefit that
management believes has a greater than 50% likelihood of realization upon settlement.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTA will or will not be
realized. The Company's ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to
any of these variables.
The Company earns Investment Tax Credits on certain equipment leases and uses the deferral method to account for these tax credits. Under this method, the
Investment Tax Credits are recognized as a reduction of depreciation expense over the life of the asset.
Derivatives-The Bank enters into forward delivery contracts to sell residential mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers at specific prices and
dates in order to hedge the interest rate risk in its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale and its residential mortgage loan commitments. The commitments to
originate mortgage loans held for sale and the related forward delivery contracts are considered derivatives. The Bank also executes interest rate swaps with
commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are hedged by simultaneously entering into an
offsetting interest rate swap that the Bank executes with a third party, such that the Bank minimizes its net risk exposure. The Company considers all free-standing
derivatives as economic hedges and recognizes these derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and requires measurement of those instruments at
fair value through adjustments to current earnings. None of the Company's derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.
As of October 2020, the Company changed its valuation methodology to reflect changes made by central clearinghouses that changed the discounting methodology
and interest calculation of cash margin from Overnight Index Swap to SOFR for cleared interest rate swaps. The changes in valuation methodology are applied
prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and are immaterial to the Company's financial statements.
The fair value of the derivative residential mortgage loan commitments is estimated using the net present value of expected future cash flows. Assumptions used
include pull-through rate assumption based on historical information, current mortgage interest rates, the stage of completion of the underlying application and
underwriting process, direct origination costs yet to be incurred, the time remaining until the expiration of the derivative loan commitment, and the expected net
future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan.
Operating Segments-Public enterprises are required to report certain information about their operating segments in its financial statements. They are also required
to report certain enterprise-wide information about the Company's products and services, its activities in different geographic areas, and its reliance on major
customers. The basis for determining the Company's operating segments is the manner in which management operates the business. The Company reports four
primary segments, which are also the Company's reporting units: Wholesale Bank, Wealth Management, Retail Bank, and Home Lending with the remainder as
Corporate and other.
Stock-Based Compensation-The Company recognizes expense in the income statement for the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards issued to employees
over the employees' requisite service period (generally the vesting period). An estimate of expected forfeitures is included in the calculation of stock-based
compensation expense over the vesting period, and actual forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is based on the
Company's share price on the grant date. Restricted stock awards generally vest ratably over three years and are recognized as expense over that same period of
time.
81
Table of Contents
Certain restricted stock awards (performance share awards) are subject to performance-based and market-based vesting criteria in addition to a requisite service
period and cliff vest based on those conditions at the end of three years. Compensation expense is recognized over the service period to the extent restricted stock
awards are expected to vest. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock award grants is estimated as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation
pricing model.
Earnings per Share-Basic earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per common share is computed in a similar manner, except that first the denominator is increased to include
the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method. For
all periods presented, restricted stock awards are potentially dilutive instruments issued by the Company. Undistributed losses are not allocated to the nonvested
stock-based payment awards as the holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses of the Company.
Fair Value Measurements-Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value. The
classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect
estimates about market data. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets that
the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs
are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The
Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the
asset or liability.
Application of new accounting guidance
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. CECL is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans
and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking
information to better inform their credit loss estimates but will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their
circumstances. ASC 326 requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments
used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and
quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, ASC 326 amends the accounting
for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.
The adoption date for the Company was January 1, 2020. The guidance was applied on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings at January 1, 2020. However, certain provisions of the guidance are only required to be applied on a
prospective basis.
The Bank has elected to not include accrued interest when determining the amortized cost basis of an asset. Instead, the amortized cost basis of an asset is the
combination of the balance, deferred fees and costs, and premium or discount. In addition, the Bank has elected to continue to present accrued interest as part of
Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank has calculated an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest that is included with the accrued
interest balance. The policies related to income recognition on non-accrual loans are outlined above.

Table of Contents
Upon adoption of CECL, the Company did not reassess whether loans previously accounted for as purchased credit impaired met the definition of a Purchased
Credit-Deteriorated loan and therefore accounts for all such assets as PCD. The Company has elected not to retain the purchased credit impaired pools previously
established. Instead, the loans will now be included within the appropriate class of financing receivables which have been established based on shared risk
characteristics. Changes to the allowance after adoption are recorded through provision expense.
Based on the Bank's portfolio composition as of January 1, 2020, and the economic environment at that time, management recorded an initial estimate of the
allowance for credit losses under CECL, which includes the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $207.6 million and the reserve for unfunded
commitments of $8.3 million. The implementation of CECL resulted in a cumulative effect of an accounting change adjustment to retained earnings of $40.2
million.
The Company analyzed the portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables based on the implementation of CECL. There were no necessary changes in the
portfolio segments or classes of financing receivables. The increase in the allowance by portfolio segment was as follows:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for
Fair Value Measurement. This ASU was issued to improve the effectiveness of disclosures surrounding fair value measurements. The ASU removes numerous
disclosures from Topic 820 including: transfers between level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the
valuation process for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified and added disclosure requirements in regards to changes in unrealized gains and
losses included in other comprehensive income, as well as the range and weighted average of unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements. The
Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020, on a retrospective basis except certain provisions of the guidance which are only required to be applied on a
prospective basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU was issued in an effort
to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing specific technical exceptions. Specifically, the guidance will remove the need for companies to analyze
whether (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership
changes in foreign investments, and (3) the exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses apply in a given
period. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The
Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial
Reporting. This ASU was issued to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance
provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to
meeting certain criteria, that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The last expedient is a one-time
election to sell or transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity. The expedients are in effect from March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The
Company will be able to use the expedients in this guidance to manage through the transition away from LIBOR, specifically for our loan portfolio.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in this Update are elective and apply to all
entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate
reform. The amendments clarify certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications apply to derivatives that are affected by the
discounting transition. The amendments are in effect from March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. This ASU does not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company had restricted cash included in cash and due from banks on the balance sheet of $93.0 million and $86.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, relating mostly to collateral required on interest rate swaps as discussed in Note 19. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $2.6 million and
$590,000, respectively, in restricted cash included in interest bearing cash and temporary investments on the balance sheet, relating to collateral requirements for
derivatives for mortgage banking activities.
Previously, the Bank was required to maintain an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank or maintain such reserve balance in the form of cash. The
amount of required reserve balance at December 31, 2019 was approximately $145.6 million and was met by holding cash and maintaining an average balance with
the Federal Reserve Bank. As of December 31, 2020, there is no longer a minimum required reserve.

These unrealized losses on the Company's debt securities are due to increases in average market interest rates and are not due to the underlying credit of the issuers.
The unrealized losses were caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities.
Management monitors the published credit ratings of the Company's securities for material rating or outlook changes. Substantially all of the Company's
obligations of states and political subdivisions are general obligation issuances. All of the available for sale residential mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations portfolio in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2020 are issued or guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises. It
is expected that these securities will be settled at a price at least equal to the amortized cost of each investment. Because the decline in fair value of the Company's
debt securities is attributable to changes in interest rates or widening market spreads and not credit quality, these investments do not have an allowance for credit
losses at December 31, 2020.

The loan balances are net of deferred fees and costs. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the balances of the net deferred costs were $38.6 million and $71.9
million, respectively. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government created the PPP, sponsored by the SBA, under the CARES Act. The Bank
participated in the PPP to originate SBA loans designated to help businesses maintain their workforce and cover other working capital needs during the COVID-19
pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank has approximately 14,800 PPP loans, totaling $1.8 billion in net loans, which are classified as commercial term
loans. Net deferred costs include $26.9 million net deferred fees for the PPP loan related origination fees net of costs to originate these loans. The PPP net deferred
fees are a yield adjustment over the remaining term of these loans. The loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and the maximum term of the loans is either two or
five years; however, the majority of the loan balances are expected to be forgiven by the SBA, which will accelerate the recognition of these net deferred fees at the
forgiveness date.
Net loans also include net discounts on acquired loans of $17.9 million and $30.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31,
2020, loans totaling $12.1 billion were pledged to secure borrowings and available lines of credit. The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from
the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. Interest accrued on loans totaled $74.8 million and $58.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, respectively, and is included in Other Assets.
The Bank, through its commercial equipment leasing subsidiary, FinPac, is a provider of commercial equipment leasing and financing throughout the United
States, originating business through three distinct channels: small and mid-ticket third party originators, vendor finance, and Umpqua Bank Equipment Leasing &
Finance. Direct finance leases are included within the lease and equipment finance segment within the loans and leases, net line item. These leases typically have
terms of three to five years and are considered to be direct financing leases. Interest income recognized on these leases was $26.5 million and $32.8 million at
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Residual values on leases are established at the time equipment is leased based on an estimate of the value of the leased equipment when the Company expects to
dispose of the equipment, typically at the termination of the lease. An annual evaluation is also performed each fiscal year by an independent valuation specialist
and equipment residuals are confirmed or adjusted in conjunction with such evaluation.

In accordance with CECL, the ACL represents management's estimate of lifetime credit losses for assets within its scope, specifically loans and leases and
unfunded commitments. To calculate the ACL, management uses models to estimate the PD and LGD for loans utilizing inputs that include forecasted future
economic conditions and that are dependent upon specific macroeconomic variables relevant to each of the Bank's loan and lease portfolios. Moody's Analytics, a
third party, provided the historical and forward-looking macroeconomic data used in the development of the models used to calculate the ACL.
88
Table of Contents
For ACL calculation purposes, the Bank considered the financial and economic environment at the time of assessment and economic scenarios that differed in the
levels of severity and sensitivity to the ACL results. At each measurement date, the Bank selects the scenario that reflects its view of future economic conditions
and is determined to be the most probable outcome.
All forecasts are updated for each variable where applicable and incorporated as relevant into the ACL calculation. Actual credit loss results will differ from the
estimate of credit losses, either in a strong economy or a recession, as the portfolio will change through time due to growth, risk mitigation actions and other
factors. In addition, the scenarios used will differ and change through time as economic conditions change. Economic scenarios might not capture deterioration or
improvement in the economy timely enough for the Bank to be able to adequately assess the impact to the ACL.
Select macroeconomic variables are projected over the forecast period, and they could have a material impact in determining the ACL. As the length of the forecast
period increases, information about the future becomes less readily available and projections are inherently less certain.
The following is a discussion of the changes in the factors that influenced management's current estimate of expected credit losses. The changes in the ACL
estimate for all portfolio segments, during the year ended December 31, 2020, were primarily related to changes in the economic assumptions. Because of the
rapidly changing economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, additional risk associated with payment deferrals, political uncertainty, and unknown
fiscal support, the Bank opted to use Moody's Analytics proprietary baseline economic forecast which included macroeconomic developments through November
2020 for estimating the ACL as of December 31, 2020.
In the baseline scenario selected, the probability that the economy will perform better than this baseline is equal to the probability that it will perform worse and
included the following factors:
•
•
•
•
•
U.S. real GDP growth continues to be positive over both the short and long-term;
U.S. unemployment rate quarterly average of 7.4% in 2021;
U.S. Economy experiences growth at historical averages through the remainder of 2020, with sustained growth through 2021, and normalized growth
thereafter;
fourth fiscal stimulus package of $1.5 trillion expected to pass into law in early 2021;
return to less than 5% unemployment by the second quarter of 2023.
The Bank uses an additional scenario that differs in terms of severity within the variables, both favorable and unfavorable, to assess sensitivity in the ACL results
and to inform qualitative adjustments. The Bank selected the Moody's Analytics November S2 scenario for this analysis. In the scenario selected, there is a 75%
probability that the economy will perform better, broadly speaking, and a 25% probability that it will perform worse; and the scenario includes the following
factors:
•
•
•
•
•
•
additional COVID-19 restrictions and disagreements in Congress delaying additional fiscal support to the economy cause a reduction in consumer and
business sentiment resulting in a stalled recovery over the next several quarters;
slow real GDP growth through the third quarter of 2021 with increases thereafter;
U.S. unemployment rate average of 7.2% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and is expected to rise to 7.9% in the first quarter of 2021;
U.S. economy experiences growth at historical averages through the remainder of 2020, with substantially slower growth in 2021, then gradually
increasing growth thereafter;
fourth fiscal stimulus package of $1.1 trillion expected to pass into law in early 2021;
return to less than 5% unemployment by the second quarter of 2024.
The results using the comparison scenario for sensitivity analysis were reviewed by management, but management believes the baseline scenario better reflects the
estimated economic environment.
The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar characteristics exist. The Company has selected models at the portfolio level using a risk-based
approach, with larger, more complex portfolios having more complex models. Except as noted below, the macroeconomic variables that are inputs to the models
are reasonable and supportable over the life of the loans in that they reasonably project the key economic variables in the near term and then converge to a long run
equilibrium trend. These models produce reasonable and supportable estimates of loss over the life of the loans as the projected credit losses will also converge to a
steady state in line with the variables applied. The Company measures the ACL using the following methods:
89
Table of Contents
Commercial Real Estate: Non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, and construction loans are analyzed using a model that uses four primary
property variables: Net Operating Income, Property Value, Property Type, and Location. For PD estimation, the model simulates potential future paths of Net
Operating Income given commercial real estate market factors determined from macroeconomic forecasts. Using the resulting expected debt service coverage
ratios, together with predicted loan-to-values and other variables, the model estimates PD from the range of conditional possibilities. In addition, the model
estimates maturity PD capturing refinance default risk to produce a total PD for the loan. The model estimates LGD, inclusive of principal loss and liquidation
expenses, empirically using predicted loan-to-value as well as certain market and other factors. The LGD calculation also includes a separate maturity risk
component. The primary economic drivers in the model are GDP Growth, U.S. unemployment rate, and 10-Year Treasury yield. The model produces PD and LGD
on a quarter-by-quarter basis for the life of loan.
The owner-occupied commercial real-estate portfolio utilizes a top down macroeconomic model using linear regression. This model produces portfolio level
quarterly net charge-off rates for 10 years. The primary economic drivers for this model are the 7-year A vs Aa corporate bond spread and S&P 500 corporate after-
tax profits.
Commercial: Non-homogeneous commercial loans and leases and residential development loans are analyzed in a multi-step process. An initial PD is estimated
using a model driven by an obligor's selected financial statement ratios, together with cycle-adjusting information based on the obligor's state and industry. An
initial LGD is derived separately based on collateral type using collateral value and a haircut to reflect the loss in liquidation. Another model then applies an auto-
regression technique to the initial PD and LGD metrics to estimate the PD and LGD curves according to the macroeconomic scenario over a one-year reasonable
and supportable forecast. The primary economic drivers in the model are the S&P 500 Stock Price Index, S&P 500 Market Volatility Index, U.S. unemployment
rate, as well as appropriate yield curves and credit spreads. This model utilizes output reversion methodology, which, after one year, reverts on a straight-line basis
over two years to long-term PD estimated using financial statement ratios of each obligor.
The model for the homogeneous lease and equipment finance agreement portfolio uses lease and equipment finance agreement information, such as origination and
performance, as well as macroeconomic variables to calculate PD and LGD values. The PD calculation is based on survival analysis while LGD is calculated using
a two-step regression. The model calculates LGD using an estimate of the probability that a defaulted lease or equipment finance agreement will have a loss, and an
estimate of the loss amount. The primary economic drivers for the model are GDP, U.S. unemployment rate, and a home price growth index. The model produces
PD and LGD curves at the lease or equipment finance agreement level for each month in the forecast horizon.
Residential: The models for residential real estate and Home Equity Lines of Credit utilize loan level variables, such as origination and performance, as well as
macroeconomic variables to calculate PD and LGD. The U.S. unemployment rate and home price growth rate indexes are primary economic drivers in both the
residential real estate and HELOC models. In addition, the prime rate is also a primary driver in the HELOC model. The models focus on establishing an empirical
relationship between default probabilities and a set of loan-level, borrower, and macroeconomic credit risk drivers. The LGD calculation for residential real estate
is based on an estimate of the probability that a defaulted loan will have a loss, and then an estimate of the loss amount. HELOCs utilize the same model using
residential real estate LGD values to assign loans to cohorts based on FICO scores and loan age. The model produces PD and LGD curves at the loan level for each
quarter in the forecast.
Consumer: Historical net charge-off information as well as economic forecast assumptions are used to project loss rates for the Consumer segment.
All loans and leases that have not been modeled receive a loss rate via an extrapolated rate methodology. The loans and leases receiving an extrapolated rate are
typically newly originated loans and leases or loans and leases without the granularity of data necessary to be modeled. Based on the vintage year, credit
classification, and reporting category of the modeled loans and leases, a loss factor is calculated and applied to the non-modeled loans and leases.
Along with the quantitative factors produced by the above models, management also considers prepayment speeds and qualitative factors when determining the
ACL. The Company uses a prepayment model that forecasts the constant prepayment rates based on institution specific data. Below are the nine qualitative factors
considered where applicable:
•
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered
elsewhere in estimating credit losses.

Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and leases, the volume of non-accrual loans and leases, and the volume and severity of adversely
classified or graded loans and leases.
Changes in the quality of the Bank's credit review system.
Changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans and leases.
The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank's existing
portfolio.
The Company evaluated each qualitative factor as of December 31, 2020, and concluded that a material adjustment to the amounts indicated by the models was not
necessary, as the models adequately reflected the significant changes in credit conditions and overall portfolio risk.
Loss factors from the models, prepayment speeds, and qualitative factors are input into the Company's CECL accounting application which aggregates the
information. The Company then uses two methods to calculate the current expected credit loss: 1) the discounted cash flow method, which is used for all loans
except lines of credit and 2) the non-discounted cash flow method which is used for lines of credit due to difficulty of calculating an effective interest rate when
lines have yet to be drawn on. The DCF method utilizes the effective interest rate of individual assets to discount the expected credit losses adjusted for
prepayments. The difference in the net present value and the amortized cost of the asset will result in the required allowance. The non-discounted cash flow method
uses the exposure at default, along with the expected credit losses adjusted for prepayments to calculate the required allowance.

The Bank manages asset quality and controls credit risk through diversification of the loan and lease portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote
sound underwriting and loan and lease monitoring practices. The Bank's Credit Quality Administration is charged with monitoring asset quality, establishing credit
policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures across the Bank. Reviews of non-performing, past due loans and
leases and larger credits, designed to identify potential charges to the allowance for credit losses, and to determine the adequacy of the allowance, are conducted on
an ongoing basis. These reviews consider such factors as the financial strength of borrowers, the value of the applicable collateral, loan and lease loss experience,
estimated loan and lease losses, growth in the loan and lease portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors.
Loans and Leases Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans and Leases
Typically, loans in a non-accrual status will not have an allowance for credit loss as they will be written down to their net realizable value or charged-off. However,
the net realizable value for homogeneous leases and equipment finance agreements is determined by the LGD calculated by the CECL model and therefore leases
and equipment finance agreements on non-accrual will have an allowance for credit losses until they become 181 days past due, at which time they are charged-off.
The Company recognized no interest income on non-accrual loans and leases during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
Due to the deterioration of the U.S. economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has had an increase in loan payment deferral and forbearance
requests. Once a deferral or forbearance request is received, a late charge waiver is put in place and payments are suspended for an agreed-upon period. Accrued
and unpaid interest during the deferral period will be collected upon the expiration of the deferral or on a regular repayment schedule at the end of the deferral
period. For certain loan types, the maturity date may be extended to allow for full amortization. In accordance with the CARES Act, interagency guidance, and
other government-mandated programs these loans are generally classified based on their past due status prior to their deferral period, so they are classified as
performing loans that accrue interest. As of December 31, 2020, loans of approximately $533.2 million are currently deferred under various federal and state
guidelines and are classified as current as their contractual payments have been deferred.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, troubled debt restructured loans of $15.0 million and $18.6 million, respectively, were classified as accruing TDR loans. The
TDRs were granted in response to borrower financial difficulties, and generally provide for a temporary modification of loan repayment terms. In order for a new
TDR loan to be considered for accrual status, the loan's collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to 100% of the loan balance, the loan is current
on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow.
There were no available commitments for troubled debt restructurings outstanding as of December 31, 2020. There were $98,000 of available commitments for
troubled debt restructurings outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
The following tables present TDR loans by accrual versus non-accrual status and by portfolio segment as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Credit Quality Indicators
Management regularly reviews loans and leases in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine appropriate loan classification and grading. In
addition, the board reviews and approves the credit quality indicators each year. The Bank differentiates its lending portfolios into homogeneous and non-
homogeneous loans and leases. Homogeneous loans and leases are risk rated on a single risk rating scale based on the past due status of the loan or lease.
The Bank's risk rating methodology for its non-homogeneous loans and leases uses a dual risk rating approach to assess the credit risk. This approach uses two
scales to provide a comprehensive assessment of credit default risk and recovery risk. The probability of default scale measures a borrower's credit default risk
using risk ratings ranging from 1 to 16, where a higher rating represents higher risk. The loss given default scale measures the amount of loss that may not be
recovered in the event of a default, using six alphabetic ratings from A-F, where a higher rating represents higher risk. The LGD scale quantifies recovery risk
associated with an event of default and predicts the amount of loss that would be incurred on a loan or lease if a borrower were to experience a major default and
includes variables that may be external to the borrower, such as industry, geographic location, and credit cycle stage. It could also include variables specific to the
borrower such as their probability of default and bankruptcies as well as variables specific to the loan or lease, including collateral valuation, covenant structure
and debt type. The product of the borrower's PD and a loan or lease LGD is the loan or lease expected loss, expressed as a percentage. This provides a common
language of credit risk across different loans.
The PD scale estimates the likelihood that a borrower will experience a major default on any of its debt obligations within a specified time period. Examples of
major defaults include payments 90 days or more past due, non-accrual classification, bankruptcy filing, or a full or partial charge-off of a loan or lease. As such,
the PD scale represents the credit quality indicator for non-homogeneous loans and leases.
The credit quality indicator rating categories follow regulatory classification and can be generally described by the following groupings for loans and leases:
Pass/Watch—A pass loan or lease is a loan or lease with a credit risk level acceptable to the Bank for extending credit and maintaining normal credit monitoring.
For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as pass, the PD rating is from 1 through 9. For homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as pass, the
loan or lease is 30 days or less past due from the required payment at month-end. A watch loan or lease is considered pass rated but has a heightened level of
unacceptable default risk due to an emerging risk element or declining performance trend. Watch ratings are expected to be temporary, with issues resolved or
manifested to the extent that a higher or lower risk rating would be appropriate within a short period of time. For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be
classified as watch, the PD rating is a 10 or 11.
Special Mention—A special mention loan or lease has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential
weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution's credit position at some future date. These borrowers have an
elevated probability of default but not to the point of a substandard classification. For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as special mention, the
PD rating is 12. For commercial homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as special mention, the loan or lease is greater than 30 to 59 days past due from the
required payment date. Residential and consumer homogeneous loans are special mention when the loan is greater than 30 to 89 days past due from the required
payment date.
Substandard—A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any.
Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct
possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as substandard, the PD
rating is 13 or 14. Commercial homogeneous loans and leases are classified as a substandard loan or lease when the loan or lease is 60 to 89 days past due from the
required payment date and is the maximum rating for loans previously charged down to net realizable value. Residential and consumer homogeneous loans are
classified as a substandard loan when an open-end loan is 90 to 180 days past due from the required payment date at month-end or when a closed-end loan is 90 to
119 days past due from the required payment date.
96
Table of Contents
Doubtful—Loans or leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A default event
and the possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work towards strengthening of
the asset, classification as a loss (and immediate charge-off) is deferred until more exact status may be determined. For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be
classified as doubtful, the PD rating is 15. Commercial homogeneous doubtful loans or leases are 90 to 179 days past due from the required payment date.
Loss—Loans or leases classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This
classification does not mean that the loan or lease has no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even
though partial or full recovery may be affected in the future. For non-homogeneous loans and leases to be classified as loss the PD rating is 16. For a commercial
homogeneous loan or lease to be loss rated, the loan or lease is 180 days or more past due from the required payment date. These loans and leases are generally
charged-off or charged down to net realizable value in the month in which the 180-day time period elapses. Residential and consumer homogeneous loans are
classified as loss when a loan becomes past due 120 days or more from the required payment date. Residential and consumer loans secured by real estate are
generally charged down to net realizable value in the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. All other residential and consumer homogeneous loans
are generally charged-off in the month in which the 120-day period elapses.

Note 8–Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
At December 31, 2020, goodwill totaled $2.7 million, after a goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion recorded as of March 31, 2020. Goodwill was $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2019. Goodwill represents the excess of the total acquisition price paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of fair value of liabilities
assumed. Goodwill is required to be allocated to reporting units, which the Company has determined to be the same as its operating segments.

The Company updated its goodwill assessment for the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units as of March 31, 2020, due to events and circumstances
indicating potential impairment. Impairment of goodwill is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its
fair value. A goodwill impairment is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to
the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company assessed qualitative factors that indicated that it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2020. Based on that
assessment, the Company determined that for the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units there were negative indicators that would require a quantitative
assessment of goodwill due to the decline in the current economic environment, specifically interest rates and the Company's stock price, as well as decreasing cash
flow projections for these reporting units based on the low interest rate environment and potentially higher credit losses.
The Company performed a quantitative analysis of the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units, by comparing the fair value of these reporting units with
their carrying amount. The Company estimated the fair value of its Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units using an income approach to estimate the fair
value of both reporting units. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting units by discounting management's projections of the reporting units'
cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, discounted using an estimated cost of
capital discount rate. The Company also considered the market and cost approaches when determining the fair value of the reporting units.
The projected cash flows used to estimate fair value of the reporting units were lower than previous projections due to declining interest rate forecasts for a
prolonged low-interest rate environment, due to the significant impact of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
economy. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors.
Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires management to make assumptions and estimates regarding the Company's future plans, as well as
industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax rates, discount rates,
growth rates, and other market factors.
Upon completing the quantitative impairment analysis as of March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $1.8 billion, which represented the
entire amount of goodwill allocated to the Wholesale Bank and Retail Bank reporting units. The remaining goodwill of $2.7 million after the impairment relates to
the Wealth Management reporting unit. As of October 31, 2020, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment analysis for the Wealth Management
reporting unit by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicated that it is more likely than not that goodwill
is impaired. Based upon that assessment, the Company determined that there were no additional factors indicating impairment and no further testing was
determined to be necessary as of December 31, 2020.

Core deposit intangible asset values were determined by an analysis of the cost differential between the core deposits inclusive of estimated servicing costs and
alternative funding sources for core deposits acquired through acquisitions. The core deposit intangible assets recorded are amortized on an accelerated basis over a
period of approximately 10 years. No impairment losses separate from the scheduled amortization have been recognized in the periods presented.

In 2019, Umpqua closed on the sale of $34.4 million in residential mortgage servicing rights for $3.4 billion of residential mortgage loans serviced for others.
The amount of contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees earned, recorded in residential mortgage banking revenue, net, was $35.7 million,
$42.2 million, and $42.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of MSR as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
Constant prepayment rate
Discount rate
Weighted average life (years)
December 31, 2020

A sensitivity analysis of the current fair value to changes in discount and prepayment speed assumptions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
Constant prepayment rate
Effect on fair value of a 10% adverse change
Effect on fair value of a 20% adverse change
Discount rate
Effect on fair value of a 100 basis point adverse change
Effect on fair value of a 200 basis point adverse change

The sensitivity analysis presents the hypothetical effect on fair value of the MSR, due to the change in assumptions. The effect of such hypothetical change in
assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in an assumption to the change in fair value is not linear. Additionally, in the
analysis, the impact of an adverse change in one assumption is calculated independent of any impact on other assumptions. In reality, changes in one assumption
may change another assumption.

The Company invests in limited partnerships that operate qualified affordable housing projects to receive tax benefits in the form of tax deductions from operating
losses and tax credits. The Company accounts for the investments using the proportional amortization method; amortization of the investment in qualified
affordable housing projects is recorded in the provision for income taxes together with the tax credits and benefits received. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and
2018, the Company recognized $7.0 million, $3.6 million, and $2.8 million, respectively, of proportional amortization as a component of income tax expense and
recognized $8.4 million, $4.3 million, and $3.3 million, respectively, in affordable housing tax credits and other tax benefits during the years. The Company's
remaining capital commitments to these partnerships at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $67.0 million and $60.4 million, respectively, and are
included in Other Liabilities.
Other real estate owned represents property acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings and is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell. The
Bank's recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property in process of foreclosure was $135,000 and $7.3 million
as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's gross deferred tax assets included $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of state NOL carryfowards
expiring in tax years 2029-2031. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state NOL carryforwards will not be realized and
therefore has provided a valuation allowance of $1.1 million as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019, on the deferred tax assets relating to these state NOL
carryforwards. The Company has determined that no other valuation allowance for the remaining deferred tax assets is required as management believes it is more
likely than not that the remaining gross deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, of $175.4 million and $120.6 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, will be realized principally through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Management further believes that future taxable income
will be sufficient to realize the benefits of temporary deductible differences that cannot be realized through carry-back to prior years or through the reversal of
future temporary taxable differences.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as the majority of states and Canada. The Company is no longer
subject to U.S. and Canadian tax examinations for years before 2017, and is no longer subject to state tax examinations for years prior to 2016, with the exception
of California, where the statute is still open for tax years 2012 and 2013.
The Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as
appropriate. This review takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities' examinations of the Company's tax returns, recent positions taken by the
taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment.
The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $4.3 million recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. If recognized, the unrecognized tax
benefit would reduce the 2020 annual effective tax rate by 0.3%. Interest on unrecognized tax benefits is reported by the Company as a component of tax expense.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is $64,000 and $70,000, respectively.
During 2019, a settlement was entered into with California for the 2005 to 2011 tax years resulting in the reversal of $516,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits.
The 2019 gross unrecognized tax benefits also includes a $183,000 reversal related to a partial refund for amended returns filed with California for the 2012 and
2013 tax years, for which $1.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits was recorded in 2018.

subject to certain collateral requirements, namely the amount of certain pledged loans at December 31, 2020. The Bank had uncommitted federal funds line of
credit agreements with additional financial institutions totaling $460.0 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the lines of credit had interest rates
ranging from 0.3% to 1.5%. Availability of the lines is subject to federal funds balances available for loan and continued borrower eligibility and are reviewed and
renewed periodically throughout the year. These lines are intended to support short-term liquidity needs, and the agreements may restrict consecutive day usage.
Note 15 – Borrowings
The Bank had outstanding secured advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2020 and 2019 with carrying values of $771.5 million and $906.6 million,

Table of Contents
The Trusts are reflected as junior subordinated debentures, either at fair value or at amortized cost. The common stock issued by the Trusts is recorded in other
assets, and totaled $14.0 million at both December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, all of the junior subordinated debentures were redeemable at par,
at their applicable quarterly or semiannual interest payment dates.
The Company selected the fair value measurement option for junior subordinated debentures originally issued by the Company (the Umpqua Statutory Trusts) and
for junior subordinated debentures acquired from Sterling Financial Corporation. Based on the implied forward curve shifting lower and an increase in the credit
spread, offset by the spot curve shifting lower, the fair value of the junior subordinated debentures decreased during the year. A gain of $18.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the gain of $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
Note 17 – Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Savings Plan-Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible to participate in the Umpqua Bank 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, a defined
contribution and profit sharing plan sponsored by the Company. Employees may elect to have a portion of their salary contributed to the plan in conformity with
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. At the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company may elect to make matching and/or profit
sharing contributions to the Umpqua 401(k) Plan based on profits of the Bank. The Company's contributions charged to expense including the match and profit
sharing amounted to $11.1 million, $8.6 million, and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Deferred Compensation/Supplemental Retirement Plans-The Company has established the Umpqua Holdings Corporation Deferred Compensation & Supplemental
Retirement Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to help supplement the retirement income of certain highly compensated executives selected by
resolution of the Company's Board of Directors. The DC/SRP has two components, a supplemental retirement plan and a deferred compensation plan. The
Company may make discretionary contributions to the SRP. The SRP plan balances at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $559,000 and $529,000, respectively,
and are recorded in other liabilities. Under the DCP, eligible officers may elect to defer up to 50% of their salary into a plan account. The DCP plan balance was
$10.3 million and $9.7 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company has established a supplemental retirement plan for the
former Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. The balance for this plan was $9.1 million and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Acquired Plans- In connection with prior acquisitions, the Bank assumed liability for certain salary continuation, supplemental retirement, and deferred
compensation plans for key employees, retired employees and directors of acquired institutions. Subsequent to the effective date of these acquisitions, no additional
contributions were made to these plans. These plans are unfunded, and provide for the payment of a specified amount on a monthly basis for a specified period
(generally 10 to 20 years) after retirement. In the event of a participant employee's death prior to or during retirement, the Bank, in certain cases, is obligated to pay
to the designated beneficiary the benefits set forth under the plans. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, liabilities recorded for the estimated present value of future
plan benefits totaled $28.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively, and are recorded in Other Liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018,
expense recorded for these benefits totaled $3.6 million, $1.5 million, and $1.0 million, respectively.
Rabbi Trusts-The Bank has established, for the DC/SRP plan noted above, and sponsors, for some deferred compensation plans assumed in connection with prior
mergers, irrevocable trusts commonly referred to as "Rabbi Trusts." The trust assets (generally trading assets) are consolidated in the Company's balance sheets and
the associated liability (which equals the related asset balances) is included in other liabilities. The asset and liability balances related to these trusts as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $12.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
111
Table of Contents
Bank-Owned Life Insurance-The Bank has purchased, or acquired through mergers, life insurance policies in connection with the implementation of certain
executive supplemental income, salary continuation and deferred compensation retirement plans. These policies provide protection against the adverse financial
effects that could result from the death of a key employee and provide tax-exempt income to offset expenses associated with the plans. It is the Bank's intent to
hold these policies as a long-term investment. However, there will be an income tax impact if the Bank chooses to surrender certain policies. Although the lives of
individual current or former management-level employees are insured, the Bank is the owner and sole or partial beneficiary. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the
cash surrender value of these policies was $323.5 million and $320.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank also had liabilities for post-
retirement benefits payable to other partial beneficiaries under some of these life insurance policies of $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Bank is
exposed to credit risk to the extent an insurance company is unable to fulfill its financial obligations under a policy. In order to mitigate this risk, the Bank uses a
variety of insurance companies and regularly monitors their financial condition.
Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk — The Company's financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities that arise
in the normal course of the Bank's business and involve elements of credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk.
The following table presents a summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities:

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve elements of credit and
interest-rate risk similar to the risk involved in on-balance sheet items recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit, and financial guarantees written, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any covenant or condition established in the applicable
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. While most standby letters of
credit are not utilized, a significant portion of such utilization is on an immediate payment basis. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-
by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty. Collateral varies but may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
112
Table of Contents
Standby letters of credit and written financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including international trade finance, commercial paper, bond
financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank holds cash, marketable securities, or real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. There
were no financial guarantees in connection with standby letters of credit that the Bank was required to perform on for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019. At December 31, 2020, approximately $105.5 million of standby letters of credit expire within one year, and $10.3 million expire thereafter. During the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank recorded approximately $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively in fees associated with standby letters of credit.
Residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market are sold with limited recourse against the Company, meaning that the Company may be obligated to
repurchase or otherwise reimburse the investor for incurred losses on any loans that suffer an early payment default, are not underwritten in accordance with
investor guidelines or are determined to have pre-closing borrower misrepresentations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a residential mortgage loan
repurchase reserve liability of $1.0 million. For loans sold to GNMA, the Bank has a unilateral right but not the obligation to repurchase loans that are past due 90
days or more. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank has no recorded liability for the loans subject to this repurchase right.
Commitments — In September 2020, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Umpqua Investments, entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the
assets of Umpqua Investments to Steward Partners. Umpqua Investments is included within the Company's Wealth Management segment. The acquisition is
expected to close in the first half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Legal Proceedings—The Company is involved in legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, advice
of counsel and available insurance coverage, management believes that the eventual outcome of actions against the Company or its subsidiaries will not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of a
matter, if unfavorable, may be material to results of operations for any particular period.
Contingencies—In 2020, the Company launched "Next Gen 2.0," an initiative designed to continue to modernize the Bank, advance technology initiatives, and
improve operating leverage. As part of this initiative, management continues to evaluate all aspects of the Company's operations. The Company announced the
planned consolidation of 12 store locations to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2021. Costs associated with these consolidations will be included in
exit and disposal costs within other expenses in non-interest expense. The Next Gen 2.0 strategy involves evaluation of these consolidations and possible future
consolidations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk—The Bank grants real estate mortgage, real estate construction, commercial, agricultural and installment loans and leases to
customers throughout Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. In management's judgment, a concentration exists in real estate-related loans, which
represented approximately 71% and 76% of the Bank's loan and lease portfolio for December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the real estate
concentration is related to PPP loans which are not real estate secured and will likely be short-term in duration. Commercial real estate concentrations are managed
to ensure geographic and business diversity, primarily in our footprint. Although management believes such concentrations have no more than the normal risk of
collectability, a substantial decline in the economy in general or caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, material increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies,
tightening credit or refinancing markets, or a decline in real estate values in the Bank's primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on the
repayment of these loans. Personal and business incomes, proceeds from the sale of real property, or proceeds from refinancing represent the primary sources of
repayment for a majority of these loans.
The Bank recognizes the credit risks inherent in dealing with other depository institutions. Accordingly, to prevent excessive exposure to any single correspondent,
the Bank has established general standards for selecting correspondent banks as well as internal limits for allowable exposure to any single correspondent. In
addition, the Bank has an investment policy that sets forth limitations that apply to all investments with respect to credit rating and concentrations with an issuer.

Note 19 – Derivatives
The Bank may use derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of interest rate lock commitments and residential mortgage loans held for sale. None
of the Company's derivatives are designated as hedging instruments. Rather, they are accounted for as free-standing derivatives, or economic hedges, with changes
in the fair value of the derivatives reported in income. The Company primarily utilizes forward interest rate contracts in its derivative risk management strategy.
The Bank enters into forward delivery contracts to sell residential mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers at specific prices and dates in
order to hedge the interest rate risk in its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale and its residential mortgage interest rate lock commitments. Credit risk
associated with forward contracts is limited to the replacement cost of those forward contracts in a gain position. There were no counterparty default losses on
forward contracts in 2020, 2019, and 2018. Market risk with respect to forward contracts arises principally from changes in the value of contractual positions due
to changes in interest rates. The Bank limits its exposure to market risk by monitoring differences between commitments to customers and forward contracts with
broker/dealers. In the event the Company has forward delivery contract commitments in excess of available mortgage loans, the Company completes the
transaction by either paying or receiving a fee to or from the broker/dealer equal to the increase or decrease in the market value of the forward contract. At
December 31, 2020, the Bank had commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale totaling $821.1 million and forward sales commitments of $1.0 billion,
which are used to hedge both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures.
The Bank executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are
simultaneously hedged by offsetting the interest rate swaps that the Bank executes with a third party, such that the Bank minimizes its net risk exposure. As of
December 31, 2020, the Bank had 886 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $6.2 billion related to this program. As of December 31, 2019, the
Bank had 846 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $5.7 billion related to this program.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the termination value of interest rate swaps in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any
adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $370,000 and $7.0 million, respectively. The Bank has collateral posting requirements for
initial margins with its clearing members and clearing houses and has been required to post collateral against its obligations under these agreements of $92.6
million and $86.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Bank's interest rate swap derivatives are cleared through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and London Clearing House. These clearing houses characterize the
variation margin payments, for derivative contracts that are referred to as settled-to-market, as settlements of the derivative's mark-to-market exposure and not
collateral. The Company accounts for the variation margin as an adjustment to cash collateral, as well as a corresponding adjustment to derivative asset and
liability. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the variation margin adjustments were negative adjustments of $330.5 million and $144.8 million, respectively.
The Bank incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives. As of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the net CVA reduced the settlement values of the Bank's net derivative assets by $18.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
Various factors impact changes in the CVA over time, including changes in the credit spreads of the parties to the contracts, as well as changes in market rates and
volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.
The Bank also executes foreign currency hedges as a service for customers. These foreign currency hedges are then offset with hedges with other third-party banks
to limit the Bank's risk exposure.

Note 20 – Stock Compensation and Share Repurchase Plan
Stock-Based Compensation
The compensation cost related to restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units in Company stock granted to employees and included in salaries and
employee benefits was $8.1 million, $7.0 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The total income tax
benefit recognized related to stock-based compensation was $2.1 million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018,
respectively.
As of December 31, 2020, there was $10.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.79 years, assuming expected performance conditions are met for certain awards.

2018, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company received income tax benefits of $2.1 million, $1.8 million, and $3.4 million, respectively,
related to the vesting of restricted shares. The tax deficiency or benefit is recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the period the shares are vested.
Share Repurchase Plan- The Company's share repurchase plan authorizes the repurchase of up to 15 million shares of common stock. The repurchase program has
been extended multiple times by the board with the current expiration date of July 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 9.5 million shares remain
available for repurchase. The Company repurchased 331,000, 300,000, and 327,000 shares under the repurchase plan in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019,
and 2018, respectively. The timing and amount of future repurchases will depend upon the market price for the Company's common stock, securities laws and
regulations restricting repurchases, asset growth, earnings, and capital plan.
The Company also has restricted stock plans which provide for the payment of withholding taxes or the option exercise price by tendering previously owned or
recently vested shares. Restricted shares cancelled to pay withholding taxes totaled 163,000, 115,000, and 187,000 shares during the years ended December 31,
2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Note 21 – Regulatory Capital
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's
operations and financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about risk components, asset risk weighting, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 common to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in
the regulations). Management believes, as of December 31, 2020, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
116
Table of Contents
The following table shows the Company's consolidated and the Bank's capital adequacy ratios compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratio and the regulatory
minimum capital ratio needed to qualify as a "well-capitalized" institution, as calculated under regulatory guidelines of Basel III at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Along with enactment of the CARES Act, the federal bank regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule to provide banking organizations that are required to
implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital by up to two years, with a three-year transition period to
phase out the cumulative benefit to regulatory capital provided during the two-year delay. The Company has elected this capital relief and will delay the estimated
regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital.

Other investment securities includes securities held by Umpqua Investments as trading debt securities
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument that is carried at fair value in the tables above:
Securities— Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or
model pricing, or broker indicative bids, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. Management periodically reviews the pricing information
received from the third-party pricing service and compares it to a secondary pricing service, evaluating significant price variances between services to determine an
appropriate estimate of fair value to report.
Loans Held for Sale— Fair value for residential mortgage loans originated as held for sale is determined based on quoted secondary market prices for similar loans,
including the implicit fair value of embedded servicing rights. For loans not originated as held for sale, these loans are accounted for at lower of cost or market,
with the fair value estimated based on the expected sales price. As of December 31, 2020, there were $78.1 million in auto loans transferred to held for sale at the
lower of cost or market.
Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights— The fair value of the MSRs is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions used include market discount
rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, and ancillary fee income net of servicing costs. This model is periodically validated by an
independent model validation group. The model assumptions and the MSR fair value estimates are also compared to observable trades of similar portfolios as well
as to MSR broker valuations and industry surveys, as available. Management believes the significant inputs utilized are indicative of those that would be used by
market participants.
120
Table of Contents
Junior Subordinated Debentures— The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using an income approach valuation technique. The significant
inputs utilized in the estimation of fair value of these instruments are the credit risk adjusted spread and three-month LIBOR. The credit risk adjusted spread
represents the nonperformance risk of the liability, contemplating the inherent risk of the obligation. The Company periodically utilizes a valuation firm to
determine or validate the reasonableness of inputs and factors that are used to determine the fair value. The ending carrying (fair) value of the junior subordinated
debentures measured at fair value represents the estimated amount that would be paid to transfer these liabilities in an orderly transaction amongst market
participants. Due to credit concerns in the capital markets and inactivity in the trust preferred markets that have limited the observability of market spreads, the
Company has classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement.
Derivative Instruments— The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments are estimated using quoted or published market
prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. The pull-through rate
assumptions are considered Level 3 valuation inputs and are significant to the interest rate lock commitment valuation; as such, the interest rate lock commitment
derivatives are classified as Level 3. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow technique incorporating credit valuation
adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value. Although the Bank has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
interest rate swap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the CVA associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of
current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2020, the Bank has assessed the
significance of the impact of the CVA on the overall valuation of its interest rate swap positions and has determined that the CVA are not significant to the overall
valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Bank has classified its interest rate swap derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
The following table provides a description of the valuation technique, significant unobservable inputs, and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs
for the Company's assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020:

Generally, increases in the constant prepayment rate or the discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the residential mortgage servicing rights will
result in a decrease in fair value. Conversely, decreases in the constant prepayment rate or the discount rate will result in an increase in fair value.
An increase in the pull-through rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitment derivative will result in an increase in the fair value
measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the pull-through rate will result in a decrease in the fair value measurement.

Management believes that the credit risk adjusted spread utilized in the fair value measurement of the junior subordinated debentures carried at fair value is
indicative of the nonperformance risk premium a willing market participant would require under current market conditions, which is an inactive market. Future
contractions in the instrument-specific credit risk adjusted spread relative to the spread currently utilized to measure the Company's junior subordinated debentures
at fair value as of December 31, 2020, or the passage of time, will result in an increase in the estimated fair value. Generally, an increase in the credit spread will
result in a decrease in the estimated fair value. Conversely, a decrease in the credit spread will result in an increase in the estimated fair value.

Changes in residential mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value are recorded in residential mortgage banking revenue within non-interest income. Gains
(losses) on interest rate lock commitments carried at fair value are recorded in residential mortgage banking revenue within non-interest income. The contractual
interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures is recorded on an accrual basis as interest on junior subordinated debentures within interest expense.
Settlements related to the junior subordinated debentures represent the payment of accrued interest that is embedded in the fair value of these liabilities.
The change in fair value of junior subordinated debentures is attributable to the change in the instrument specific credit risk; accordingly, the unrealized gains on
fair value of junior subordinated debentures for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $18.8 million are recorded net of tax as other comprehensive income of $14.0
million. Comparatively, unrealized gains of $25.9 million were recorded net of tax as other comprehensive income of $19.2 million for the year ended December
31, 2019. The gain recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 was due primarily to the implied forward curve shifting lower and an increase in the credit
spread, offset by the spot curve shifting lower.
From time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-
of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment, typically on collateral dependent loans.

Goodwill was evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2020, for the Retail Bank and Wholesale Bank reporting units. Refer to Note 8 - Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, for discussion of the Company's goodwill impairment analysis.
The following provides a description of the valuation technique and inputs for the Company's assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis, excluding goodwill. Unobservable inputs and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs are not presented as the fair value is
determined by third-party information for loans and leases and other real estate owned.
The loans and leases amounts above represent collateral dependent loans and leases that have been adjusted to fair value. When a loan or non-homogeneous lease
is identified as collateral dependent, the Bank measures the impairment using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. Depending on the
characteristics of a loan or lease, the fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals, but in some cases, the value of the collateral
may be estimated as having little to no value. When a homogeneous lease or equipment finance agreement becomes 181 days past due, it is determined that the
collateral has little to no value. If it is determined that the value of the collateral dependent loan or lease is less than its recorded investment, the Bank recognizes
this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the loan or lease to fair value, less costs to sell, through the allowance for credit losses. The loss represents
charge-offs on collateral dependent loans and leases for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of collateral.

The other real estate owned amount above represents impaired real estate that has been adjusted to fair value. Other real estate owned represents real estate which
the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the carrying
amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property's new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value at the date of acquisition
are charged to the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its
new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within other non-interest expenses. The
loss represents impairments on other real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.

Residential mortgage loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option are measured initially at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value
recognized in earnings. Gains and losses from such changes in fair value are reported as a component of residential mortgage banking revenue, net. For the years
ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a net increase in fair value of $16.8 million, a net increase of $10.6 million, and a net decrease of
$2.6 million, respectively, representing the change in fair value reflected in earnings.
The Company selected the fair value measurement option for certain junior subordinated debentures. The remaining junior subordinated debentures were acquired
through previous business combinations and were measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Accounting for the selected junior subordinated debentures at fair value enables the Company to more closely align financial performance with the economic value
of those liabilities. Additionally, it improves the ability to manage the market and interest rate risks associated with the junior subordinated debentures. The junior
subordinated debentures measured at fair value and amortized cost are presented as separate line items on the balance sheet. The ending carrying (fair) value of the
junior subordinated debentures measured at fair value represents the estimated amount that would be paid to transfer these liabilities in an orderly transaction
amongst market participants under current market conditions as of the measurement date.
Due to inactivity in the junior subordinated debenture market and the lack of observable quotes of the Company's, or similar, junior subordinated debenture
liabilities or the related trust preferred securities when traded as assets, the Company utilizes an income approach valuation technique to determine the fair value of
these liabilities using estimation of market discount rate assumptions. The Company monitors activity in the trust preferred and related markets, to the extent
available, evaluates changes related to the current and anticipated future interest rate environment, and considers entity-specific creditworthiness, to validate the
reasonableness of the credit risk adjusted spread and effective yield utilized in the discounted cash flow model. The Company also considers changes in the interest
rate environment in the valuation, specifically the absolute level and the shape of the slope of the forward swap curve.

Note 24 – Segment Information
The Company reports four primary segments: Wholesale Bank, Wealth Management, Retail Bank, and Home Lending with the remainder as Corporate and other.
The Wholesale Bank segment includes lending, treasury and cash management services and customer risk management products to middle market corporate,
commercial and business banking customers and includes the operations of FinPac, a commercial leasing company. The Wealth Management segment consists of
the operations of Umpqua Investments, which offers a full range of retail brokerage and investment advisory services and products to its clients who consist
primarily of individual investors, and Umpqua Private Bank, which serves high net worth individuals with liquid investable assets and provides customized
financial solutions and offerings. The Retail Bank segment includes retail and small business lending and deposit services for customers served through the Bank's
store network. The Home Lending segment originates, sells and services residential mortgage loans. The Corporate and other segment includes activities that are
not directly attributable to one of the four principal lines of business and includes the operations of the parent company, eliminations and the economic impact of
certain assets, capital and support functions not specifically identifiable within the other lines of business.
Management monitors the Company's results using an internal performance measurement accounting system, which provides line of business results and key
performance measures. A primary objective of this profitability measurement system and related internal financial reporting practices are designed to produce
consistent results that reflect the underlying economics of the business and to support strategic objectives and analysis based on how management views the
business. Various methodologies employed within this system to measure performance are based on management's judgment or other subjective
factors. Consequently, the information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial institutions.
This system uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including internal funds transfer pricing,
allocations of income, expense, the provision for credit losses, and capital. The application and development of these management reporting methodologies is a
dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be
periodically revised retrospectively. In the current period, certain business banking related departments were moved from Retail Bank to Wholesale Bank to realign
with Umpqua's strategic goals. The prior periods have been revised accordingly.
125
Table of Contents
Funds transfer pricing is used in the determination of net interest income reported by assigning a cost for funds used or credit for funds provided to all assets and
liabilities within each business segment. In general, assets and liabilities are match-funded based on their maturity or repricing characteristics, adjusted for
estimated prepayments if applicable. The value of funds provided or cost of funds used by the business segments is priced at rates that approximate wholesale
market rates of the Company for funds with similar duration and re-pricing characteristics. Market rates are generally based on LIBOR or interest rate swap rates,
plus consideration of the Company's incremental credit spread/cost of borrowing. As a result, the business segments are generally insulated from changes in interest
rates. This method of funds transfer pricing also serves to transfer interest rate risk to Treasury, which is contained within the Corporate & Other segment.
However, the business segments have some latitude to retain certain interest rate exposures related to customer pricing decisions that are within overall Corporate
guidelines. The Corporate & Other segment reflects the recording of the deferred fees and costs on loans originated during the period, as the loan fees and costs are
reflected within net interest income and non-interest expense, respectively, upon loan origination for the rest of the segments.
Non-interest income and expenses directly attributable to a business segment are directly recorded within that business unit. To better analyze the total financial
performance of each business unit and to consider the total cost to support a segment, management allocates centrally provided support services and other corporate
overhead to the business segments based on various methodologies. Examples of these type of expense overhead pools include information technology, operations,
human resources, finance, risk management, credit administration, legal, and marketing. Expense allocations are based on actual usage where practicably
calculated or by management's estimate of such usage. Example of typical expense allocation drivers include number of employees, loan or deposits average
balances or counts, origination or transaction volumes, credit quality related indicators, non-interest expense, or other identified drivers.
The provision for credit losses is based on the methodology consistent with the Bank's process to estimate the consolidated allowance. The provision for credit
losses incorporates the actual net charge-offs recognized related to loans contained within each business segment. The residual provision for credit losses to arrive
at the consolidated provision for credit losses is included in Corporate and Other.
The provision for income taxes is typically allocated to business segments using a 25% effective tax rate. The residual income tax expense or benefit arising from
tax planning strategies or other tax attributes to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate is retained in Corporate and Other.

(a) The revenue is not impacted by ASC 606 accounting guidance and continues to be recognized when earned in accordance with the Company's existing policies.
Service charges on deposits
The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based and overdraft services. Account maintenance fees consist primarily
of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a
monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the
customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are
recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.
Debit and ATM interchange income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used. The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder
transactions through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are
recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned
when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders' debit card. Certain expenses directly associated with the credit and debit card are recorded on a net
basis with the interchange income.
132
Table of Contents
Brokerage revenue
As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had revenues of $15.6 million, $15.9 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for the performance of
brokerage and advisory services for its clients through Umpqua Investments. Brokerage fees consist of fees earned from advisory asset management, trade
execution and administrative fees from investments. Advisory asset management fees are variable, since they are based on the underlying portfolio value, which is
subject to market conditions and asset flows. Advisory asset management fees are recognized quarterly and are based on the portfolio values at the end of each
quarter. Brokerage accounts are charged commissions at the time of a transaction and the commission schedule is based upon the type of security and quantity. In
addition, revenues are earned from selling insurance and annuity policies. The amount of revenue earned is determined by the value and type of each instrument
sold and is recognized at the time the policy or contract is written.
Merchant fee income
Merchant fee income represents fees earned by the Bank for card payment services provided to its merchant customers. The Bank outsources these services to a
third party to provide card payment services to these merchants. Income is earned upon a revenue share agreement with the third party based on the dollar volume
and number of transactions processed on a monthly basis.
Credit card and interchange income and expenses
Credit card interchange income represent fees earned when a credit card issued by the Bank is used. Similar to the debit card interchange, the Bank earns an
interchange fee for each transaction made with the Bank's branded credit cards. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the
transaction is charged to the cardholders' credit card. Certain expenses and rebates directly related to the credit card interchange contract are recorded net to the
interchange income.
Note 29 – Subsequent Events
On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.21 per common share based on fourth quarter 2020 performance. The
dividend is payable on February 26, 2021, to shareholders of record as of February 16, 2021.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
On a quarterly basis, the Company carries out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of December 31, 2020, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer,
Principal Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
Although management changes and improves our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, we do not believe that any such changes occurred
in the fourth quarter 2020 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Umpqua Holdings Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management
and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and
• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013). This assessment included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions for
the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C) to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements that are included in this annual report
and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and issued their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm, appearing under Item 8. The audit report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2020.

Shareholders approved the Company's 2013 Incentive Plan on April 16, 2013, and approved an amendment to the 2013 plan to increase the
number of authorized shares at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. The 2013 Plan authorizes the issuance of equity awards to directors and
employees and reserves 12.0 million shares of the Company's common stock for issuance under the plan (up to 6 million shares for "full value
awards" as described below). With the adoption of the 2013 Plan, no additional awards are being issued from prior plans. Under the terms of the
2013 Plan, restricted stock awards generally vest ratably over a three year period and performance share awards generally cliff vest at the end of
a three-year performance period. The 2013 Plan weights "full value awards" (restricted stock and performance share awards) as two shares
issued from the total authorized under the 2013 Plan; we have issued only full value awards under the 2013 Plan. For purposes of column (B)
above, performance share awards are excluded from the calculation. For purposes of column (C) above, the total number of shares available for
future issuance under the 2013 Plan for full value awards was 2.0 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, 605,000 performance
share awards were outstanding and subject to satisfaction of performance based on the Company's total shareholder return or return on average
tangible shareholders equity relative to a peer group. At December 31, 2020, 736,000 full value shares issued as restricted stock were
outstanding, but subject to forfeiture in the event that time based conditions are not met.

Exhibit 10.6
UMPQUA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Restricted Stock Award or Notice of Performance Share Award (the "Notice") and this Restricted Stock
Award Agreement (together with the Notice, the "Agreement" or "Award Agreement"), Umpqua Holdings Corporation, including its
Subsidiaries and any successor corporation (the "Company"), grants to the Participant named in the Notice (the "Participant"), in
consideration for Participant’s services to the Company, a Restricted Stock Award or Performance Share Award (the "Award") pursuant to
the Company’s 2013 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and subject to the restrictions and conditions contained herein and in the Notice and the Plan.
1. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD
1.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby awards to the Participant and the Participant accepts the Award of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company specified in the Notice. This Award is made in consideration of the services to be
rendered by the Participant to the Company, without the payment of any consideration other than the Participant’s services to the Company
and payment of the Price Paid by the Participant per Share specified in the Notice, if any. The Award is being made pursuant to Section 8 or 9
of the Plan and is subject to and conditioned upon the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Notice. Any inconsistency between the Notice or this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan will be resolved
in accordance with the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by
reference. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its sole discretion. This
grant of the Award does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any other Awards in the future.
1.2 Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Participant remains in Continuous Service through the
applicable vesting date, and further provided that any additional conditions and performance goals set forth in the Notice have been satisfied,
the Grant Shares will vest in accordance with vesting schedule set forth in the Notice. The period over which the Restricted Stock vests is
referred to as the “Restricted Period”.
2. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PARTICIPANT
2.1 No Representations by or on Behalf of the Company. The Participant is not relying on any representation, warranty or statement
made by the Company or any agent, employee or officer, director, shareholder or other controlling person of the Company regarding this
Award or the Company’s stock.
2.2. Tax Election. The Company has advised the Participant to seek the Participant’s own tax and financial advice with regard to the
federal and state tax considerations resulting from the Participant’s receipt of the Award or shares of the Company’s stock pursuant to the
Award. The Participant is making the Participant’s own determination as to the advisability of making a Code Section 83(b) election with
respect to the shares covered by the Award set forth in the Notice and this Agreement. The Participant understands that the Company will
report to appropriate taxing authorities the payment to the Participant of compensation income either (i) upon the vesting of the Award or (ii)
if the Participant makes a timely Code Section 83(b) election, as of the effective date of the Award. The Participant understands that he or she
is solely responsible for the payment of all federal and state taxes resulting from this Restricted Stock Award. With respect to Tax
Withholding Amounts, the Company has all of the rights specified in Section 5 of this Agreement and has no obligations to the Participant
except as expressly stated in Section 5 of this Agreement.
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
2.3 Agreement to Enter into Lock-Up Agreement with an Underwriter. The Participant, by accepting the Award represented by this
Agreement, understands and agrees that whenever the Company undertakes a firmly underwritten public offering of its securities, the
Participant will, if requested to do so by the managing underwriter in such offering, enter into an agreement not to sell or dispose of any
securities of the Company owned or controlled by the Participant provided that such restriction will not extend beyond 12 months from the
effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such offering.
3. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS OF TRANSFERS OF UNVESTED SHARES
3.1 No Transfers of Unvested Shares. The Participant agrees for himself or herself, his or her executors, administrators and other
successors in interest that during the Restricted Period none of the unvested shares of Restricted Stock (“Unvested Shares”), nor any interest
therein, may be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, encumbered, transferred, assigned, donated, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of,
gratuitously or for consideration prior to their vesting in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice.
3.2 Stock Distributions. If the Company makes any distribution of stock with respect to the Grant Shares by way of a stock dividend or
stock split, or pursuant to any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger or otherwise, and the Participant receives any additional
shares of stock in the Company (or other shares of stock in another corporation) as a result thereof, such additional (or other) shares shall be
deemed Grant Shares hereunder and shall be subject to the same restrictions and obligations imposed by this Agreement.
3.3 Invalid Transfers. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Unvested Shares or the
rights relating thereto during the Restricted Period shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Unvested Shares will be
forfeited by the Participant and all of the Participant’s rights to such shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration
by the Company. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Grant Shares which have been sold or transferred in
violation of the provisions of this Section 3 or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Grant Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or any
other rights to, any person or entity to whom Participant transferred or attempted to transfer the Grant Shares in contravention of this
Agreement.
3.4 Status of Forfeited Grant Shares. Any of the Unvested Shares that are forfeited by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement
shall return to the status of authorized, but unissued, shares of the Company in accordance with the Plan.
4. FORFEITURE OF UNVESTED SHARES
4.1 Forfeiture Events. Except as otherwise provided in the Notice, if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates (a “Forfeiture
Event”) for any reason at any time before all of his or her Shares have vested, the Unvested Shares shall be automatically forfeited upon such
termination of Continuous Service and all of the Participant’s rights to such Shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or
consideration by the Company.
4.2 Safekeeping of Stock Certificate Until Vesting. Until the Award vests in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the
Notice, any stock certificate representing the Shares may be retained by the Company or its transfer agent. Upon the occurrence of a
Forfeiture Event, Participant does hereby authorize and does hereby irrevocably appoint the Secretary of the Company (with full power of
substitution) as Participant’s attorney-in-fact to transfer the Shares on the books of the Company. Upon
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
the written request of the Participant, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant a stock certificate representing the
Shares that have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice to the extent that stock certificates for such vested
shares have not previously been delivered to the Participant. The power of attorney contained in this Section 4.2 shall become null and void
as to Shares that have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice.
5. Tax Liability and Withholding
5.1 The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation
paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock and to take all
such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Committee may
permit the Participant to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of
such means:
(i)
tendering a cash payment.
(ii)
authorizing the Company to withhold Shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Participant as
a result of the vesting of the Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the
minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.
(iii)
delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.
5.2 Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-
related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and
the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant,
vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any shares; and (b) does not commit to structure the Award to reduce or
eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.
6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will
be suffered by a party hereto by reason of any breach by another party of any term of this Agreement, that the Company and its common
stock are unique and that a nonbreaching party will suffer irreparable injury if this Agreement is not specifically performed. Accordingly, the
parties hereto acknowledge that a nonbreaching party shall, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or at law, be entitled to
equitable relief (including without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief) to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
6.2 No Rights to Continued Employment or Service. Nothing contained herein or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to
continue in his or her position, and the Company reserves all rights to discharge, demote or remove Participant for any reason whatsoever,
with or without cause, as an at will employee or director, subject to the terms of any other written agreement that may exist between the
Company and the Participant.

the parties hereto.

6.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oregon applicable to the construction and enforcement of contracts wholly executed in

6.6. Arbitration. The parties agree to submit any dispute arising under this Agreement to final, binding, private arbitration in Portland,

Department list, they will ask the Arbitration Department to make the selection for them. The arbitrator will have full authority to determine
all issues, including arbitrability, to award any remedy, including permanent injunctive relief, and to determine any request for costs and
expenses in accordance with Section 6.7 of this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award may be reduced to final judgment in Multnomah County
Circuit Court. The complaining party shall bear the arbitration expenses and may seek their recovery if it prevails. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, an aggrieved party may seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in Multnomah County
Circuit Court to preserve the status quo during the arbitration proceeding.
6.7 Attorney Fees. If any suit, action, or proceeding is instituted in connection with any controversy arising out of this Agreement or the
enforcement of any right hereunder, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, in addition to costs, such sums as the court or arbitrator
may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees, including fees on any appeal.
6.8 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a
part hereof.
6.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the
subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior written or oral communications or agreements all of which are merged herein. There
are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants, or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein.
6.10 No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any party hereunder shall be effective,
except pursuant to a written instrument signed by the party or parties waiving compliance, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose stated in such writing.

Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties,
interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
6.17 No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Restricted Stock is not part of Participant’s normal or expected compensation
