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 First
Banking Company of Southeast Georgia ("First Banking Company"), of Statesboro,
Georgia, and to file certain analyst presentation materials related to this
transaction as Exhibit 99.1.
The transaction will be accomplished through a $124.2 million stock
swap. It is BB&T's fifth acquisition of a Georgia bank during 1999 and will
increase the bank's assets in Georgia to $5 billion after all pending mergers
are completed.
The acquisition will bolster BB&T's presence in southeast Georgia and
enhance BB&T's market position in the Savannah area.
First Banking Company, with $419 million in assets, operates 12 banking
offices in southeast Georgia. Its banking subsidiaries are First Bulloch Bank &
Trust Company of Statesboro, Metter Banking Company of Metter, First National
Bank of Effingham (located in Springfield and Rincon), and Wayne National Bank
of Jesup.
The transaction, approved by the directors of both companies, is valued
at $22.06 per share of First Banking Company's common stock based on BB&T's
closing stock price on December 13, 1999, of $29.8125. The exchange ratio will
be fixed at .74 shares of BB&T common stock for each First Banking Company share
outstanding. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests.
First Banking Company's branch network will join BB&T's Macon-based
community bank region. BB&T currently has 19 autonomous regions, which operate
like community banks.
Bulloch County - home county to First Banking Company - is a regional
center for banking, education, shopping and recreation. The four counties served
by First Banking's four banking subsidiaries are near the intersection of
Interstate Highways 95 and 16, which forms a high growth corridor in southeast
Georgia.
The merger, which is subject to the approval of banking regulators and
First Banking Company's shareholders, is expected to be completed in the second
quarter of 2000.

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
restructuring charges relating to the merger, estimated increases in First
Banking Company'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
First Banking Company, the amount of general and administrative expense
consolidation, costs relating to converting First Banking Company'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 First Banking Company, 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 First Banking Company are engaged; (8) adverse changes may occur in the
securities markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T and First Banking Company may
have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such
competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T and First Banking Company.
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 First Banking Company of Southeast Georgia is consistent
with this strategy.
- - This acquisition is very consistent with past acquisitions which we
have successfully executed, i.e. it fits our model.
- - First Banking Company of Southeast Georgia provides BB&T with a market
presence in the attractive southeastern counties of Georgia.

* BB&T's extensive array of fee related businesses

BB&T Investment Criteria
- - EPS and Cash Basis EPS (accretive by year 2)
- - Internal rate of return (15% or better)
- - Return on equity and Cash Basis ROE (accretive by year 3)
- - Return on assets and Cash Basis ROA (accretive by year 3)
- - Book value per share (accretive by year 5)
- - Must not cause combined leverage capital ratio to go below 7%
Criteria are listed in order of importance. There are sometimes trade-
offs among criteria.
22
<PAGE>
Assumptions
- - BB&T's 1999 and 2000 EPS are based on First Call estimates of $1.97 and
$2.21 respectively, and subsequent years are based on 12% income
statement and balance sheet growth.
- - First Banking Company's 1999 EPS is based on management's estimate of
$1.25. First Banking Company's 2000 EPS estimate (on a stand-alone
basis) is $1.43. Subsequent to the acquisition, we have assumed that
performance can be enhanced through more effective management of First
Banking Company's balance sheet. For the years 2001 and thereafter, we
have assumed 12% income statement and balance sheet growth except for
the enhancements cited below.
- - $3.6 million in cost savings (25% of First Banking Company's expense
base), 40% realized in the year 2000 and 60% realized in 2001.
- - First Banking Company's core net interest margin (non-FTE) is maintained
annually at 5.44%.
- - First Banking Company's core fee income ratio is increased to 25% by 2005.

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.
