Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Salary stock units ("SSUs") are restricted stock units issued bi-weekly as a portion of the reporting person's salary compensation, net of withholdings and deductions, and are issued under the Synovus Financial Corp. 2013 Omnibus Plan. An SSU represents the right to receive a cash payment equal to the future value of a share of Synovus common stock. For more information, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Synovus on January 24, 2014, as amended on February 5, 2014. SSUs are fully vested on the date of grant and will settle in cash on January 15, 2015.
(2)	The Company completed a one-for-seven reverse stock split effective May 16, 2014. The amount stated represents the post-split adjusted amount, and fractional shares are not included because all fractional shares will be aggregated into whole shares and sold on the open market at prevailing prices by the Company's transfer agent. In lieu of fractional shares, the reporting person will receive a cash payment equal to his or her allocable share of the totel proceeds of these sales.
(3)	The amount stated has also been adjusted to correct a computational error. SSU grants made prior to February 7, 2014 were included in the reporting person's balance in error, as such previous grants settled in cash on or before January 15, 2014, as previously reported.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
