Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 8, 2021, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. ("Reliant") held a special meeting of its shareholders (the "Meeting"). Of the 16,574,646 shares of Reliant's common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business as of October 22, 2021, the record date for the Meeting, shareholders representing a majority of the shares of Reliant's common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting were present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, constituting a quorum for all matters to be presented at the Meeting.

The following is an overview of the three proposals that were submitted to the Reliant shareholders for approval at the Meeting (each of which proposals was described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement filed by Reliant with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 25, 2021) and a tabulation of the votes with respect to each proposal.

Proposal 1: The Reliant shareholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 14, 2021, by and between United Community Banks, Inc. ("United") and Reliant, pursuant to which Reliant will merge with and into United (the "merger"), with United as the surviving entity. The voting results on this proposal were as follows:

Proposal 2: The Reliant shareholders approved on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain compensation arrangements for Reliant's named executive officers in connection with the merger. The voting results on this proposal were as follows:

Common Stock 7,696,607   2,430,851       475,697            -

Proposal 3: The Reliant shareholders approved the motion to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if, immediately prior to such adjournment, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to holders of Reliant common stock. The voting results on this proposal were as follows:



             Votes For Votes Against Votes abstained Broker Non-Votes
Common Stock 9,494,942    662,222        445,991            -

Although the foregoing Proposal 3 was approved, adjournment of the Meeting was not necessary or appropriate because Reliant's shareholders approved the Merger Agreement.
