Previous report

The Corporation expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with the acquisition, including computer system conversion costs, severance, professional fees and other expenses. The Corporation cannot identify the timing, nature and amount of all such charges as of the date of this filing. The completion of the acquisition depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions, many of which are outside of the Corporation’s control, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval of the transaction by SQCF shareholders. If the acquisition is not completed, these expenses would have been expended or would be recognized currently and not capitalized, and the Corporation would not have realized the expected benefits of the acquisition. Additionally, the Corporation’s business may be adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the acquisition, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the acquisition.

Reworded paragraphs (2)

Previous wording

Risk Related to Pending Acquisition of SQCF - The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on the Corporation’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from successfully combining the businesses of the Corporation and SQCF within the Corporation’s projected timeframe. If the Corporation is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. The Corporation and SQCF have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on the Corporation during the transition period.

Risk Related to Recent Acquisition of Susquehanna - The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on the Corporation’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from successfully combining the businesses of the Corporation and Susquehanna within the Corporation’s projected timeframe. If the Corporation is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

Additionally, the Corporation’s business may be adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the acquisition, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the acquisition.

Previous wording

The Corporation currently expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings per share beginning in the first year after closing (excluding one-time charges). This expectation, however, is based on preliminary estimates which may materially change, including the currently expected timing of the acquisition. The Corporation may encounter additional transaction and integration related costs or other factors, such as a delay in the closing of the acquisition, failure to realize all of the benefits anticipated in the acquisition or other factors that affect preliminary estimates or the Corporation’s ability to realize operational efficiencies. Any of these factors could cause a decrease in the Corporation’s earnings per share or decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the acquisition and contribute to a decrease in the price of the Corporation’s common stock.
