BB&T Insurance Services to acquire
McGriff, Seibels & Williams

          RALEIGH, N.C. BB&T Insurance Services, in its largest acquisition ever, today said it plans to buy McGriff, Seibels & Williams Inc. of Birmingham, Ala.

          The transaction, approved by the directors of BB&T Corporation and McGriff, Seibels & Williams, includes $304 million in stock based on BB&T’s closing price of $38.84 on Nov. 10, and $50 million in cash. BB&T will issue between 7.83 million and 8.65 million shares based on BB&T’s average closing price during a pricing period prior to closing. The transaction also allows for a total “earnout” payment to McGriff, Seibels & Williams’ shareholders of approximately $102 million in cash over a five-year period if McGriff, Seibels & Williams exceeds certain performance targets.

          The merger will create the sixth largest insurance broker in the nation. This insurance agency merger, which is outside of the existing BB&T Insurance network footprint, signals an expanded strategy to be a countrywide provider of insurance and risk management services. The combination will vastly enhance BB&T Insurance’s large account capability, and McGriff, Seibels & Williams will provide the platform to increase BB&T’s national insurance presence.

          Privately-held McGriff, Seibels & Williams, with a projected $1.8 billion in premiums in 2003, is the 13th largest insurance broker in the nation. It is the highest performing insurance sales organization in the industry over the past decade, based on data from the insurance industry’s annual “Best Practices Study.”

          The merger, which is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2004. With more than 775 employees, McGriff, Seibels & Williams will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Branch Banking and Trust Company. It will retain its name and management team.

          “When you’ve had the kind of growth and success that BB&T Insurance Services has had over the years, it’s the perfect time to step back and look for new ways to build on that momentum and continue to strengthen our fee-based businesses,” said BB&T Corporation Chief Operating Officer Henry Williamson. “We realize that to continue to grow — a must in our business — it’s time to look outside our footprint and make the first move in a new acquisition strategy for our insurance operations.

          “We could not be more pleased, therefore, with the prospect of an insurance merger with McGriff, Seibels & Williams, clearly one of the best managed and most profitable brokers in the industry.”

          McGriff, Seibels & Williams, with roots dating back to 1886, is the largest privately held commercial insurance broker headquartered in the Southeast and the second largest in the United States. The company’s client base, which is national in scope, is served by major offices in Atlanta, Birmingham, Dallas and Houston. Its risk management specialty areas include energy and marine, financial services, commercial, construction, surety, employee benefits, healthcare and public entity.

          Included within McGriff, Seibels & Williams is subsidiary Wood & Company Inc., a wholesale insurance broker with more than 75 employees and $175 million in premiums, mostly in property, casualty and professional liability coverages. With offices in Atlanta and Dallas, Wood & Company will operate as part of Birmingham-based CRC Insurance Services. CRC is a separate BB&T-owned wholesale insurance broker — the second largest in the United States.

          McGriff, Seibels & Williams also operates Attenta, one of the largest third party administrators for workers' compensation coverage in the nation. Attenta's services include claims management, loss control and medical cost containment programs. Attenta has offices in Birmingham; San Francisco; Houston; Dallas; Raleigh, N.C.; Gulfport and Jackson, Miss.; and Lubbock, Texas.

          “From a strategic point of view and from a pure quality point of view, McGriff is perfect for BB&T,” said Wade Reece, president of BB&T Insurance Services. “Their level of professionalism is matched only by their awesome performance over the years.

          “While BB&T has enjoyed a lot of success in the insurance distribution business, there is certainly much we can learn from McGriff, Seibels & Williams. Clearly, their success has come from their client-centered approach to doing business. Like BB&T, everything at McGriff is about meeting the needs and expectations of its clients.”

          McGriff, Seibels & Williams specializes in large commercial and energy accounts, and insures numerous Fortune 500 companies. While BB&T Insurance Services also has large accounts, its specialty over the years has been service to mid-size businesses, small businesses and individual clients. “Our union will be a very complementary combination,” Reece said.

          “Throughout its history, McGriff, Seibels & Williams has attracted the most talented insurance professionals in the industry who have prospered in an entrepreneurial culture that is clearly client-centered and service-focused,” said Bruce Dunbar, its chairman and chief executive officer.

          “Joining forces with BB&T will not only allow us to continue that culture and independence but will provide enhanced opportunities for our existing employees and an environment that will continue to attract the industry’s top professionals. McGriff, Seibels & Williams will be even better equipped to serve its customers and respond to their needs through the additional tools and resources that will be available through the combined operations,” said Dunbar, who will retain his current CEO title and continue to provide leadership to McGriff, Seibels & Williams and the BB&T insurance operations outside of the BB&T footprint.

          “We elected to partner with BB&T Insurance Services because they will support and enhance the culture that has led to our success. They also have the backing of the nation’s 12th largest financial holding company along with a complete grasp of the insurance distribution business and our management philosophy. BB&T will provide the platform and the resources to help us continue to grow and expand our operation nationally and globally.

          “All-in-all, we believe this merger creates the preeminent risk management broker in the nation. This union is good for our customers, insurance carriers and employee shareholders.”

          BB&T’s existing insurance operations form the eighth largest insurance broker based in the United States. Raleigh-based BB&T Insurance Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Branch Banking and Trust Company, operates 72 agencies in North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky and Alabama. CRC Insurance Services operates 21 wholesale insurance brokerage locations across the United States.

MORE




          Branch Banking and Trust Company is the principal subsidiary of Winston-Salem, N.C.-based BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT). With $90.4 billion in assets as of Sept. 30, BB&T Corp. is the nation's 12th largest financial holding company. BB&T was named this year to the Forbes Platinum 400 list of America's "Best Big Companies" for the fourth year in a row.

          BB&T operates more than 1,400 banking offices in the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Indiana and Washington, D.C.

          BB&T and its subsidiaries offer full-service commercial and retail banking and additional financial services such as investments, retail brokerage, corporate finance, international banking, leasing and trust.

Analyst Presentation

Forward-Looking Information

BB&T has made forward-looking statements in the accompanying analyst presentation materials that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T, and on the information available to management at the time the analyst presentation materials were prepared. In particular, the analyst materials in this report include statements regarding estimated earnings per share of BB&T on a stand-alone basis, expected cost savings from the merger, estimated merger or restructuring charges, estimated increases in MSW’s fee-based revenues, the anticipated accretive effect of the merger, and BB&T’s anticipated performance in future periods. With respect to estimated cost savings and merger or restructuring charges, BB&T has made assumptions about, among other things, the extent of operational overlap between BB&T and MSW, the amount of general and administrative expense consolidation, the size of anticipated reductions in fixed labor costs, the amount of severance expenses, the extent of the charges that may be necessary to align the companies’ respective accounting policies, and the cost related to the merger. The realization of cost savings and the amount of merger or restructuring charges are subject to the risk that the foregoing assumptions are inaccurate.

Any statements in the accompanying exhibit regarding the anticipated accretive effect of the merger and BB&T’s anticipated performance in future periods are subject to risks relating to, among other things, the following possibilities: (1) expected cost savings from this merger or other previously announced mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (2) customer loss or revenue loss following proposed mergers may be greater than expected; (3) competitive pressure among insurance distribution businesses and financial institutions may increase significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners, including MSW may be greater than expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins; (6) general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality, or a reduced demand for credit; (7) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T and MSW are engaged; (8) adverse changes may occur in the securities markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T and MSW may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T and MSW.

BB&T believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Such statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The future results and shareholder value of BB&T following completion of the merger may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond management’s ability to control or predict.
