2 Safe Harbor Within the charts and tables presented, certain segments, columns and rows may not sum to totals shown due to rounding. This investor presentation (including any information incorporated herein by reference) and future oral and written statements of HTLF and its management, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives and future performance of HTLF. Any statements about HTLF's expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include information about possible or assumed future results of HTLF's operations or performance, and may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of HTLF's management. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of the words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "project", "may", "will", "would", "could", "should", "view", "opportunity", "potential", or similar or negative expressions of these words or phrases that are used in this investor presentation, , and future oral and written statements of HTLF and its management. Although HTLF may make these statements based on management’s experience, beliefs, expectations, assumptions and best estimate of future events, the ability of HTLF to predict results or the actual effect or outcomes of plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and there may be events or factors that management has not anticipated. Therefore, the accuracy and achievement of such forward-looking statements and estimates are subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the ability of management to control or predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements. These factors, which HTLF currently believes could have a material effect on its operations and future prospects, are detailed below and in the risk factors in HTLF's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the "Risk Factors" section under Item 1A of Part I of HTLF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, include, among others: • Economic and Market Conditions Risks, including risks related to the deterioration of the U.S. economy in general and in the local economies in which HTLF conducts its operations and future civil unrest, natural disasters, pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics and governmental measures addressing them, climate change and climate-related regulations, persistent inflation, higher interest rates, recession, supply chain issues, labor shortages, terrorist threats or acts of war; • Credit Risks, including risks of increasing credit losses due to deterioration in the financial condition of HTLF's borrowers, changes in asset and collateral values and climate and other borrower industry risks which may impact the provision for credit losses and net charge-offs; • Liquidity and Interest Rate Risks, including the impact of capital market conditions, rising interest rates and changes in monetary policy on our borrowings and net interest income; • Operational Risks, including processing, information systems, cybersecurity, vendor, business interruption, and fraud risks; • Strategic and External Risks, including economic, political and competitive forces impacting our business; • Legal, Compliance and Reputational Risks, including regulatory and litigation risks; and • Risks of Owning Stock in HTLF, including stock price volatility and dilution as a result of future equity offerings and acquisitions. There can be no assurance that other factors not currently anticipated by HTLF will not materially and adversely affect HTLF's business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, all statements in this investor presentation, including forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. HTLF does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or to otherwise update any statement in light of new information or future events. Further information concerning HTLF and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect HTLF’s financial results, is included in HTLF's filings with the SEC.

INVESTOR CONTACT: Bryan McKeag Chief Financial Officer 563-589-1994 bmckeag@htlf.com MEDIA CONTACT: Ryan Lund SVP, Director of Corporate Communications 952-746-0439 rlund@htlf.com HTLF Announces Strategic Sale of Investment Securities Denver – November 15, 2023 – HTLF (NASDAQ: HTLF) announced that during late October and the first half of November, it repositioned its balance sheet by selling investment securities with proceeds totaling $805.8 million with a pre-tax loss of $129.1 million or $96.9 million after tax, which will cause the company to report a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023. The proceeds of the sale will immediately be used to repay high- cost wholesale deposits and short-term borrowings (wholesale funding). The repositioning is a component of HTLF 3.0, the company’s new strategic plan. Selling low-yielding investments to reduce high-cost wholesale funding improves balance sheet efficiency and flexibility, strengthens capital position, and enhances future profitability. This, along with other efficiency initiatives, allows HTLF to further invest in commercial growth strategies and innovation. The company will provide more on HTLF 3.0 during its 4th quarter earnings call in January. The repositioning is expected to increase HTLF’s net interest income by $24.3 million on an annualized basis and improve net interest margin run rate by 28 basis points, as the yield on the securities sold was 2.48%, while the interest cost associated with the repaid wholesale funding was 5.50%. HTLF’s tangible common equity (TCE) ratio will immediately increase by 43 basis points as a result of the smaller balance sheet. Because the securities sold were classified as available for sale, their quarter-end loss was already included in TCE. Both before and after the repositioning, HTLF’s regulatory capital ratios, including all unrealized gains and losses as of September 30, 2023, exceed all well-capitalized regulatory guidelines.
