Item 5. Other Events
The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to announce that BB&T
Corporation ("BB&T") has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Premier
Bancshares Inc. ("Premier") of Atlanta, Georgia, in a $624.1 million stock swap
that will give BB&T its third Georgia bank and the sixth largest share of
deposits in metropolitan Atlanta.
Premier Bancshares, with $2 billion in assets (including three pending
acquisitions), operates 32 banking offices in Atlanta and North Georgia and 10
mortgage banking offices through a subsidiary, Premier Lending.
Premier will be BB&T's second acquisition in the metropolitan Atlanta
area, the largest metropolitan statistical area in the Southeast. BB&T completed
its acquisition of Newnan, Ga.-based First Citizens Corp. on July 9.
The transaction, approved by the directors of both companies, will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Premier shareholders will receive
$18.43 per share based on BB&T's closing price Tuesday of $35.75. The value to
be received by each shareholder is based upon a fixed exchange ratio of 0.5155
BB&T share for each Premier share.
Premier will boost BB&T's assets in Georgia to more than $4 billion,
including a pending acquisition with Macon-based First Liberty Financial Corp.
BB&T plans to supplement Premier's real estate lending focus with
BB&T's emphasis on retail customers and small to middle market commercial
customers.
Premier customers will be introduced to a broad product line that
includes insurance, mutual funds, annuities, trust, retail brokerage, investment
banking, treasury services and international banking.
BB&T's newest region will be headquartered in Atlanta and Premier
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Darrell D. Pittard will be named its
president. BB&T currently has 17 autonomous regions, which operate like
community banks. More than 95 percent of lending decisions are made locally.
Premier operates banking offices in the following counties: Baldwin,
Barrow, Chattooga, Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Glynn, Greene, Gwinnett, Hall,
Henry and Spalding.
The merger, which is subject to the approval of Premier shareholders
and banking regulators, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of
2000.
Winston-Salem-based BB&T Corporation, with $40.8 billion in assets,
operates 601 banking offices in the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and
Washington, D.C.

Premier Bancshares, Inc.

Expanding a Great Franchise
Analyst Presentation
July 28, 1999
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 restructuring charges relating to the merger, estimated increases
in Premier's fee income ratio, the anticipated accretive effect of the
merger, and BB&T's anticipated performance in future periods. With respect
to estimated cost savings and restructuring charges, BB&T has made
assumptions about, among other things, the extent of operational overlap
between BB&T and Premier, the amount of general and administrative expense
consolidation, costs relating to converting Premier's bank operations and
data processing to BB&T's systems, 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
reserve policies, and the cost related to the merger. The realization of
cost savings and the amount of 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) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue
loss following proposed mergers may be greater than expected; (3)
competitive pressure among depository and other financial institutions may
increase significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration
of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners, including Premier, 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
Premier are engaged; (8) adverse changes may occur in the securities
markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T and Premier may have greater financial
resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more
successfully than BB&T and Premier.
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 values 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.

Rationale for Acquisition
- - BB&T has an announced strategy to pursue in-market
(Carolinas/Virginia/DC/Maryland/Georgia) and contiguous state acquisitions
of high quality banks and thrifts in the $250 million to $10 billion range.
The acquisition of Premier Bancshares is consistent with this strategy.
- - This acquisition is very consistent with past acquisitions which
we have successfully executed, i.e. it fits our model.
- - Premier provides BB&T with an enhanced market presence in the high growth
corridors of the Metro Atlanta market.

Strategic Objectives
The key strategic objectives in this acquisition are:
- Expansion of the Metro Atlanta market
- Improve efficiency
* 25% cost savings to be realized in the year 2000
- Supplement Premier's primarily commercial/consumer real estate lending
focus with:
* BB&T's focus on the small to middle market commercial customer and
BB&T's lending expertise in those segments
* BB&T's strong retail banking emphasis
- Increase productivity and market penetration through the use of
BB&T's successful "Decathlon" sales management system
15
<PAGE>
Franchise Enhancement

Glossary
Return on Assets - recurring earnings for the period as a percentage of average
assets for the period.
Return on Equity - recurring earnings for the period as a percentage of average
common equity for the period.
Cash Basis Performance Results and Ratios - These calculations exclude the
effect on net income of amortization expense applicable to certain intangible
assets. The ratios also exclude the effect of the unamortized balances of these
intangibles from assets and equity.
Efficiency Ratio - calculated as recurring noninterest expense as a percentage
of the sum of recurring net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
and recurring noninterest income.
Leverage Capital Ratio - Common shareholders' equity excluding unrealized
securities gains and losses and certain intangible assets as a percentage of
average assets for the most recent quarter less certain intangible assets.
Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio - The sum of shareholders' equity, a qualifying
portion of subordinated debt and a qualifying portion of the allowance for loan
and lease losses as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.
Net Charge-Off Ratio - Loan losses net of recoveries as a percentage of average
loans and leases.
Internal Rate of Return - The interest rate that equates the present value of
future returns to the investment outlay. An investment is considered acceptable
if its IRR exceeds the required return. The investment is defined as the market
value of the stock and/or other consideration to be received by the selling
shareholders.
Recurring Results or Ratios - earnings excluding charges and expenses
principally related to completing mergers and acquisitions.
Certain of the ratios discussed above may be annualized if the applicable
periods are less than a full year.
