Press Release Body: CARY, N.C. – Michael G. Carlton, president of Crescent State

mutual agreement with ZR Waverly Place, LLC, to terminate a lease commitment for the
bank’s proposed new headquarters in Waverly Place located at the corner of Tryon

agreed to occupy a minimum of 40,000 square feet upon moving into the new office in

The proposed headquarters was located in a six-story office building to which the
bank would have naming rights.

corners building located on High House Road in Cary, which it has occupied since
2000. The bank operates 13 full-service banking offices in the communities of Cary,
