PROXY STATEMENT

Our proxy statement contains information relative to our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, May 18, 2016, beginning at 3:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, in the Great Room at The Regional Learning Alliance located at 850 Cranberry Woods Drive, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania 16066 (our “Annual Meeting”). This proxy statement also relates to any adjournment of our Annual Meeting. This proxy statement was prepared under the direction of the F.N.B. Corporation Board of Directors to solicit your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting. On April 1, 2016, we commenced the distribution of our proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to our shareholders of record as of March 9, 2016. We will bear all costs of preparing and distributing our proxy materials to our shareholders. We will, upon request, reimburse brokers, nominees, fiduciaries, custodians and other record holders for their reasonable expenses in forwarding our proxy materials to beneficial owners.

We use the following terms in this proxy statement:

•

“We,” “us,” “our,” “F.N.B.,” “Company,” or “Corporation” mean F.N.B. Corporation;

•

“Board” means the F.N.B. Corporation Board of Directors;

•

“FNBPA” means First National Bank of Pennsylvania;

•

“FNTC” means First National Trust Company;

•

“F.N.B. Capital” means F.N.B. Capital Corporation, LLC; and

•

“CEO” means Chief Executive Officer.

ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING

What is a proxy?

Your proxy gives us authority to vote your shares and tells us how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment. Three of our employees, who are called “proxy holders” (or “proxies” for short) and are named on the proxy card, will vote your shares at the Annual Meeting according to the instructions you give on the proxy card.

Why are you soliciting a proxy from me?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to make sure that your vote is properly submitted and received on time, and to improve the efficiency of the Annual Meeting. We may ask for, or solicit, proxies using several methods.

We may solicit proxies by mail, personal interviews, telephone or fax. We may also use the Internet to solicit proxies. F.N.B. officers or employees may solicit proxies, but will not receive any special compensation for doing so. We have engaged the firm of Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC to assist us with soliciting proxies.

What will our shareholders vote on at our Annual Meeting?

Our shareholders will act upon the following proposals at our Annual Meeting:

•

Election of the fifteen (15) nominees for directors named in this proxy statement, each to serve for a term of one year and until the election of their successors (Proposal 1);

•

Adoption of an advisory (non-binding) resolution to approve the 2015 compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 2);

•

Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2016 (Proposal 3);

•

Consideration and approval of our reincorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Proposal 4); and

•

Any other business that may come before our Annual Meeting in compliance with the advance notice and other applicable provisions of our bylaws (described in the Shareholder Proposals discussion in this Proxy Statement).

VOTING

Who is entitled to vote at our meeting?

Our Board has set March 9, 2016, as the record date for our Annual Meeting. Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at our Annual Meeting and any adjournment of our Annual Meeting. F.N.B. shareholders who plan to attend our Annual Meeting may obtain driving directions to the meeting location by contacting our shareholder services representative at (888) 981-6000 and asking to be connected to extension 4944.

What are the Board’s voting recommendations?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares:

•

“For” the election of each of the fifteen (15) nominees for election as directors named in this proxy statement for a term of one year and until the election of their successors (Proposal 1);

•

“For” adoption of the advisory (non-binding) resolution to approve the 2015 compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 2);

•

“For” ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2016 (Proposal 3); and

•

“For” approval and adoption of our reincorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Proposal 4).

What is a quorum?

On our March 9, 2016, record date, we had shares of common stock outstanding. Under Florida law, we must have a quorum before we can consider proposals at our Annual Meeting. A quorum is the number of shares that must be present at the meeting. In determining if a quorum exists, we count the number of shares represented by shareholders in person as well as the number of shares represented by proxies. If you return a signed and dated proxy card, vote via the Internet, vote by telephone or vote in person at our Annual Meeting, you will be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

To have a quorum, we need the presence of shareholders or their proxies who are entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast. If you return a proxy, whether you vote for or against a proposal, abstain from voting or only sign and date your proxy card, your holdings will be counted toward the quorum.

Although a quorum may be achieved, not all proposals will be subject to the same voting or approval requirement. Street name holders may need to take additional precautions to ensure that their vote counts. We discuss the vote required to approve each proposal under the question immediately below.

What vote is required to approve each matter?

In general, if you abstain from voting, it will not count as a vote “cast.” However, please see the summaries below for more specific information about how abstentions will be counted with respect to each proposal. With respect to Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4, if you desire to abstain, you must check the “Abstain” box on your proxy card, or select the appropriate option when voting by Internet or telephone.

Proposal 1. Election of Directors

Our bylaws provide that in the circumstance of an uncontested director election, which is the case for this year’s directors’ election, our directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at our Annual Meeting. Our Articles of Incorporation do not authorize cumulative voting for the election of directors. To receive a majority of votes cast means that the shares voted for a director’s election exceed the number of votes cast against that director’s election. Moreover, our bylaws provide that any incumbent director who does not receive a majority of votes cast will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board shall determine whether to accept the resignation. The directors’ election is considered a non-routine item and, as such, there may be broker non-votes. Any broker non-votes or abstentions will not be included in the total votes cast and will not affect the director election results. If there is a contested election (which is not the case in 2016), directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast at the meeting.

Proposal 2. “Say on Pay” Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

A majority of the votes cast will be required to approve the advisory vote on executive compensation. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Corporation. This matter is considered a non-routine matter and, as a result, there may be broker non-votes. Any broker non-votes or abstentions will not be included in the total votes cast and will not affect the results.

Proposal 3. Ratification of Auditor

A majority of the votes cast will be required to approve the ratification of our Audit Committee’s selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2016. This will be considered a routine item and brokers have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on behalf of clients. As a routine item, there will be no broker non-votes, although brokers may fail to submit a vote. Any failure by brokers to vote or any abstentions will not be included in the total votes cast and will not affect the results.

Proposal 4. F.N.B. Reincorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

A majority of the votes cast will be required to approve F.N.B.’s reincorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This proposal is considered a non-routine item. As a non-routine item, there may be broker non-votes. Any broker non-votes or abstentions will not be included in the total votes cast and will not affect the results.

What are the voting rights of our shareholders?

The only class of our securities that is outstanding and entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting is our common stock. As of the March 9, 2016, record date, we had shares of our common stock outstanding, each entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter to be voted on at our Annual Meeting.

How do I vote?

You can vote either in person at our Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you attend our Annual Meeting. When you or your authorized attorney-in-fact grants us your proxy, you authorize us to vote your shares of our common stock in the manner you specify on your proxy card. Giving a proxy allows your shares to be voted at our Annual Meeting even if you do not attend the Annual Meeting in person. If your shares are in an account at a bank or brokerage firm (that is, in “street name”), you will receive a separate card from your bank or brokerage firm with instructions about the manner in which you may vote your shares.

If you hold your shares directly, to vote by proxy you must do one of the following:

•

Vote by mail. Complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided (the envelope requires no postage if mailed in the United States).

•

Vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a registered shareholder and attend our Annual Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or request a voting ballot to vote in person at the meeting. Even if you returned a proxy to us before our Annual Meeting, you may revoke it and vote in person.

•

Vote via the Internet.* Instructions are provided on your proxy card. If you vote via the Internet, you should not return your proxy card.

•

Vote by telephone.* Instructions are provided on your proxy card. If you vote via telephone, you should not return your proxy card.

* Proxies submitted via the Internet or telephone must be received by 1:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 18, 2016, in order to be counted in the vote.

If you hold your F.N.B. shares in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, and you want to vote in person at our Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a signed proxy card from the brokerage firm or the bank that holds your F.N.B. stock. If your F.N.B. stock is registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you also may be eligible to vote your shares electronically via the Internet or by telephone. Many banks and brokerage firms participate in programs such as the Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. online program. These programs provide eligible shareholders who receive a paper copy of this proxy statement the opportunity to vote via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm is participating in one of these programs, your proxy card will contain instructions for voting online or by telephone. If your proxy card does not reference Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the proxy card in the enclosed self-addressed, postage-paid envelope.

How will my shares be voted if I give my proxy but do not specify how my shares should be voted?

If you sign, date and return your proxy card, but do not provide voting instructions, or if you do not provide voting instructions when voting over the Internet, we will vote your shares represented by that proxy as recommended by our Board of Directors (see “What are the Board’s voting recommendations?” above), and this vote will count as a vote cast.

Who can attend our Annual Meeting?

All shareholders as of the close of business on March 9, 2016 (the record date), or their duly appointed proxies, may attend our Annual Meeting. Even if you currently plan to attend our Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote by any of the applicable methods described above so that your vote will be counted at our Annual Meeting if you later decide not to attend.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your bank or brokerage firm, you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your ownership of F.N.B. stock as of the March 9, 2016, record date, and check in at the registration desk at our Annual Meeting.

What are the requirements for admittance to the Annual Meeting?

Only shareholders as of the record date have a right to attend the Annual Meeting. In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you will need to present a government-issued photo identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) and, if you are not a “record holder” on the company’s books, evidence of ownership of our common stock as of the record date (such as a brokerage account statement). Entrance after the Annual Meeting has commenced will be prohibited. If you are representing an entity that is a shareholder, you must also present documentation showing your authority to attend and act on behalf of the entity (such as a power of attorney, written proxy to vote or letter of authorization on the entity’s letterhead). We reserve the right to limit the number of representatives for any entity that may be admitted to the meeting. No cameras, recording equipment, large bags or packages will be permitted in the Annual Meeting. The use of cell phones, smart phones, tablets and other personal communication devices during the Annual Meeting is also prohibited.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before it is voted at our Annual Meeting. You may change your vote by delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at F.N.B. Corporation, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Suite 503, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, by voting via the Internet or by telephone at a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Only your latest instruction will be counted. However, your attendance at our Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at our Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering a written notice of revocation prior to our Annual Meeting to our Corporate Secretary at F.N.B. Corporation, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212.

How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”?

If you hold your shares in “street name” in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, we generally cannot mail our proxy materials directly to you. Instead, your bank or brokerage firm will forward our proxy materials to you and tell you how to give them instructions for voting your F.N.B. shares.

Please ensure that you instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares. Under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to brokers, your broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares without receiving your instructions on “routine” matters. The only routine matter before our Annual Meeting will be the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm. All of the other proposals that will be considered at our Annual Meeting are “non-routine” matters. Your bank or brokerage firm does not have discretionary authority to vote on a non-routine matter unless you provide them with your voting instructions. Therefore, please ensure that you instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares with respect to election of our directors, the advisory non-binding resolution to approve the 2015 compensation of our named executive officers and the reincorporation of the Corporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

How do I vote my 401(k) Plan shares?

If you participate in the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”) or the Baltimore County Savings Bank Employee Savings Plan (“BCSB 401(k) Plan”), you may vote the number of shares of common stock credited to your account as of the record date. You may vote by instructing T. Rowe Price, the trustee of our 401(k) Plan, or Principal Financial Group, trustee of the BCSB 401(k) Plan, pursuant to the voting instruction card being mailed with this proxy statement to plan participants. The trustee will vote your shares in accordance with your duly executed voting instruction card, provided that the trustee receives it by 3:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, May 13, 2016.

In the case of the 401(k) Plan and the BCSB 401(k) Plan, if you do not return your voting instruction card, the shares credited to your plan account will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion that it votes the shares for which it timely received voting instruction cards.

You may also revoke a previously given proxy card until 3:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, May 13, 2016, by filing with the trustee either a written notice of revocation or a properly completed and signed voting instruction card or Internet vote or telephone vote having a later date.

How will we conduct the business of our Annual Meeting?

Our bylaws govern the organization and conduct of business at our shareholder meetings. Our bylaws specify that our Board Chairman shall preside at our shareholder meetings. Our Board Chairman, Mr. Stephen J. Gurgovits, will serve as Chair of our Annual Meeting and call the meeting to order. As Chair of our Annual Meeting, Board Chairman Gurgovits will determine, at his discretion, the order of the business to be conducted at our Annual Meeting and the procedure for our Annual Meeting. Board Chairman Gurgovits will announce the opening and closing of the polls for each matter on which our shareholders will vote at our Annual Meeting.

Who can answer my questions?

Should you have questions concerning these proxy materials or our Annual Meeting or should you wish to request additional copies of this proxy statement or proxy card, you may contact Mr. James G. Orie, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, at (888) 981-6000 and ask to be connected to extension 3435.

How can I avoid receiving more than one set of proxy materials in future years?

If two or more registered shareholders live in your household or if a registered shareholder maintains two or more shareholder accounts, you may have received more than one set of our proxy materials. At your request, we will “household” your proxy materials, i.e., only one annual report and one proxy statement will be delivered to your address; however, a separate proxy card will be delivered for each account. Please refer to the section titled, “Other Matters — Householding of Proxy Materials” at the end of this proxy statement for more information regarding “householding.”

Is my vote confidential?

We process proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders in a manner that protects your voting privacy. We will not disclose your vote either within the Company or to third parties, except:

•

As necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

•

To allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and

•

To facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy cards. At our discretion, we may forward your comments to our management or the Board.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce the preliminary voting results at our Annual Meeting. The judges of election will tally the final voting results and we will include the final voting results in a Form 8-K, which we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by May 24, 2016.

Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

The Company is paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. The Company has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC to assist in obtaining proxies by mail, facsimile or email from registered holders, brokerage firms, bank nominees and other institutions for the Annual Meeting. The estimated cost of such service is $17,500 including out-of-pocket expenses. Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC may be contacted at 888-742-1305.

The Company will also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares held in “street name” for their reasonable costs associated with:

•

Forwarding the Notice of our Annual Meeting to beneficial owners;

•

Forwarding printed proxy materials by mail to beneficial owners who specifically request them; and

•

Obtaining beneficial owners’ voting instructions.

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies on our behalf personally or by telephone, facsimile or email.

Proposal 1. Election of Directors

General Information Regarding Director Nominees

Our Board determines the number of directors to nominate for election each year. The F.N.B. bylaws provide that our Board shall consist of not fewer than five nor more than 25 persons, the exact number to be determined from time to time by the Board.

Acting on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board fixed the number of directors as of the Annual Meeting date at fifteen (15).

Directors

The Board, acting on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated for election as directors the nominees identified in the table titled, “Current Directors and Nominees for Election at Our Annual Meeting.” Each nominee is discussed in more detail in the Section titled “Biographical Information Concerning Director Nominees” of this proxy statement. Each of the Company’s nominees will hold office for a one-year term until the next annual meeting of shareholders and the election and qualification of his or her successor. All of our nominees are currently directors.

On October 21, 2015, the Board appointed Frank C. Mencini to the F.N.B. Board and the FNBPA Board, with the appointment effective January 1, 2016.

Also, on February 12, 2016, the F.N.B. Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee elected Gary L. Nalbandian, the former Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer of Metro Bancorp, to the F.N.B. Board and FNBPA Board. Mr. Nalbandian was elected to the Board in connection with the completion of the merger of Metro Bancorp, Inc., with and into F.N.B. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger between F.N.B. and Metro, dated as of August 4, 2015, F.N.B. agreed to elect one current member of the Metro board of directors, as mutually agreed by F.N.B. and Metro, to the F.N.B. and FNBPA Boards of Directors with a term expiring at the first annual meeting of shareholders after the completion of the merger. F.N.B. also agreed to nominate that former Metro director at the annual meeting of F.N.B. immediately following completion of the merger and to solicit proxies for such director in the same manner as for all other members of F.N.B.’s slate of directors for that meeting.

Identification and Evaluation of Director Nominees

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies potential directors primarily through recommendations made by current or former Company Directors and contacts in business, civic, academic and non-profit communities. Also, our Company shareholders may propose persons to be nominated for election to our Board (see later discussions under “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2017 Annual Meeting”).

At least annually, in consultation with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board assesses the skills, qualifications and experience of our Board and decides whether to recommend an incumbent director for re-election. In evaluating existing directors or new candidates (including any candidates who may be recommended by a shareholder), our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board assess the needs of the Board and the qualifications of each director candidate. Moreover, in evaluating the suitability of prospective Board members, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board take into account many factors detailed, including those in our Company bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines, e.g., each director candidate’s general understanding of banking, finance and other disciplines relevant to the success of a publicly traded financial services company in today’s business and regulatory environment; compatibility with our culture; understanding of our business; educational and professional background; personal accomplishment; adherence to the standards set forth in the F.N.B. Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct; and geographic, gender, age, racial, ethnic and other diversity considerations. Please see the section titled “Biographical Information Concerning Director Nominees” for more information on each of our director nominees. Since the 2015 Annual Meeting, the F.N.B. Board elected Mr. Frank C. Mencini and Mr. Gary L. Nalbandian to the Board. Mr. Mencini was identified as a candidate for election to the F.N.B. Board through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s search process. This process entails identification of potential qualified Board candidates through referrals by Board and/or committee members and through sources recommended by current Board members. In Mr. Mencini’s case, he was identified by F.N.B. Nominating and Corporate Governance committee Chair and Lead Director, William Campbell, and F.N.B. Director and CEO Vincent Delie, as a possible candidate for election to the F.N.B. Board. Mr. Mencini was interviewed by each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the consensus of the committee members was to formally consider Mr. Mencini for election to the F.N.B. Board. Mr. Mencini was evaluated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under the above-described suitability criteria and nominated by the committee for election to the F.N.B. Board on October 21, 2015, and the F.N.B. Board unanimously voted to elect Mr. Mencini to the Board on the same day, with an effective date of January 1, 2016. As described previously in this proxy statement, Mr. Nalbandian was elected to the Board pursuant to F.N.B.’s commitment in the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Metro. F.N.B. CEO Delie reviewed the qualifications of each Metro Board member who expressed an interest in being elected to the F.N.B. Board and consulted with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in connection with recommending Mr. Nalbandian to the committee. On February 12, 2016, Mr. Nalbandian was evaluated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under the above-described criteria and this committee unanimously voted to elect Mr. Nalbandian to the Board on the same day, with an effective date of March 1, 2016.

Mr. Motley served as Vice President and General Manager at Respironics, Inc. (medical device company) located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 2006 through 2008, securing white space opportunities via acquisitions, equity/convertible debt investments and licensing. During his tenure with Respironics, Mr. Motley was Director, Corporate Strategic Planning, leading the strategic planning process for all of Respironics’ businesses and, during that time, the company grew from $800 million to $1.4 billion prior to its acquisition by Philips in 2008. Prior to 2006, Mr. Motley held various executive and management positions with large multinational corporations.

In addition, Mr. Motley has significant experience serving as a director on various non-profit, charitable, foundation and educational organizations, including: Vice Chair, Strategy Committee for Heritage Valley Health Systems, a $400 million community hospital system based in Sewickley, Pennsylvania; University of Pittsburgh Coulter Foundation Oversight Committee, Commercialization Initiative; University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering; Manchester Craftsman’s Guild (Pittsburgh-based community organization); and the National Center for Arts and Technology (Pittsburgh-based arts foundation).

With over three decades of working and consulting with corporate and business leaders regarding strategic development and implementation and executive counseling for more than 40 businesses in the United States across multiple industry sectors, Mr. Motley offers a unique perspective for the Corporation’s strategic planning processes and executive leadership development. Moreover, since the previous ten years of Mr. Motley’s career have been spent in the heavily regulated life sciences sector, he is especially positioned to be sensitive to the heightened financial services regulatory environment that F.N.B. must navigate in order to succeed. Mr. Motley’s background and experience enables him to make significant contributions to F.N.B.’s Board.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

Board Leadership Structure, Role in Risk Oversight and Corporate Governance

Based on an evaluation of its governance needs and the composition, skills and qualifications of the current directors, the Board believes that an appropriate leadership structure should include the following important characteristics: (i) the Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors; (only three non-independent directors out of fifteen); (ii) the Board includes a lead independent director with specific duties since the current Board Chairman does not qualify as independent; (iii) regular executive sessions at periodic intervals consisting of independent and/or non-management directors (without management present) which are regularly conducted after F.N.B. Board meetings; and (iv) a robust annual Board, committee and individual director self-assessment process. The Board believes that its current leadership structure includes these four characteristics. The Board also believes that its leadership structure is flexible enough to adapt to evolving circumstances so that the Board may continue to maintain an effective role in the oversight of the Company’s risk management processes. The Board annually evaluates its structure and this assessment includes an evaluation of the Board, Board committees and individual directors.

Our Board is led by Mr. Gurgovits, who has served as our non-executive Board Chairman since January 2012. Upon determining that Mr. Gurgovits does not qualify as independent under the applicable NYSE rules by virtue of his prior service as the Corporation’s CEO, the Board also decided to designate an independent Lead Director. As provided in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent directors designate the Lead Director for a one-year term. By election of the independent directors of the Board at the annual re-organization meeting of the Board, Mr. Campbell has served as the independent Lead Director since January 2012. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Director are more fully described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

Assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for reviewing, evaluating and monitoring the Corporation’s strategic plan by meeting with the Corporation’s CEO to monitor and remain knowledgeable regarding the status of such plan;

•

When necessary, act as a liaison to and facilitate communications with the Corporation’s Chairman, directors and CEO for the purpose of coordinating information flow among the parties with the goal of optimizing the effectiveness of the Corporation’s Board and Board Committees;

•

Serve as a conduit of information and feedback among the Corporation’s Chairman, directors and CEO between Board meetings;

•

Coordinate the review and resolution of conflict of interest issues with respect to members of the Corporation’s Board as they may arise;

•

Collaborate with the Board Chair in developing the Board meeting agendas; and

•

Coordinate and develop the agenda for, and preside at, executive session meetings of the Corporation’s Board.

The Board oversees the Company’s CEO and other senior management in the competent and ethical operation of the Company on a day-to-day basis and ensures that our officers are serving the long-term interests of the shareholders. We expect each director to take a proactive and focused approach to his or her position, and to assist in setting standards to ensure that the Company is committed to business success through the maintenance of high standards of responsibility, fiduciary conduct and ethics, as embodied in our Statement of Directors’ Duties and Responsibilities, Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Statement of Directors’ Duties and Responsibilities describes the legal, regulatory and fiduciary duties which our directors must adhere to in the conduct of their Board responsibilities. Our Code of Conduct applies to all of the Company’s employees and directors and our Code of Ethics applies to senior officers and employees. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines outline the key practices and procedures that our Board follows. These codes and standards may be found on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “About Us — Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the corporate governance link.

Our Board met 13 times in 2015. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the respective committees on which such director served. We expect the members of our Board to attend our Annual Meeting as a matter of policy and all of our current Board members attended our 2015 Annual Meeting, with the exception of Mr. Mencini and Mr. Nalbandian who were not directors at that time.

Board Committees

Our Corporation’s principal Board committees are its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (“Nominating Committee”) (collectively, “Standing Committees”). The Board has determined that all directors who served as members of the Standing Committees (including their Chairs) during 2015 are independent under the applicable NYSE standards and SEC rules and otherwise meet the specific eligibility requirements for these committees. The Corporation also has an Executive Committee and a Risk Committee. Each Executive Committee member has been determined by our Board to be independent except for Mr. Gurgovits (former CEO) and Mr. Delie (current CEO), who are the only two F.N.B. directors who were determined by the Board not to be independent. Each of our Risk Committee members has been determined by our Board to be independent. We identify the members and chairs of our Board committees in the table below.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee, consistent with Florida law and our bylaws, assists the Board by offering an efficient means of considering significant matters and issues including during intervals between regular meetings of our Board. The Executive Committee met 5 times in 2015.

Audit Committee

In accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Audit Committee is responsible primarily for selecting and overseeing the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and internal audit department, evaluating our accounting policies and system of internal controls and reviewing significant financial transactions and compliance matters. In addition, the Audit Committee approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services, as well as all engagement fees and terms related thereto. The Audit Committee met eleven (11) times during 2015. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Messrs. Malone, Martz, Mencini, Stanik and Strimbu, qualifies as being “financially

literate,” and each of these Audit Committee members also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The determination that each of the Audit Committee members qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” included an evaluation of each person’s qualifications and other relevant experience under applicable SEC rules and definitions, including consideration of each person’s work, financial, business and professional experience. (For more detail regarding the business and professional experience and financial background of Messrs. Malone, Martz, Mencini, Stanik and Strimbu, see the section titled, “Biographical Information Concerning Director Nominees.”) Each Audit Committee member also meets the additional criteria for independence of audit committee members set forth under the SEC rules, NYSE listing standards and the applicable federal bank regulatory requirements. We refer you to the Report of Audit Committee in this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee (also referred to as the “Committee” in the Executive Compensation and Other Proxy Disclosure discussion of this proxy statement) is responsible primarily for reviewing the compensation arrangements for our executive officers, including the CEO, administering our equity compensation plans, and reviewing the compensation of the Board. For a description of the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures, including the roles of our executive officers and independent compensation consultants in the Compensation Committee’s decision-making process, we refer you to “Executive Compensation and Other Proxy Disclosure” elsewhere in this proxy statement. The Compensation Committee met 10 times in 2015. The F.N.B. Board has affirmatively determined that each of the Compensation Committee members, Ms. Ellsworth and Messrs. Malone, Motley and Strimbu, qualify under the NYSE and Dodd-Frank compensation committee “independence” rules and as an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”).

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating Committee assists in the development of standards concerning the qualifications and composition of our Board and conducts succession planning for our Board. In addition, the Nominating Committee recommends director candidates to stand for election to our Board and seeks to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders through implementation of prudent and sound corporate governance principles and practices. We refer you to the discussions under Identification and Evaluation of Director Candidates located elsewhere in this proxy statement. The Nominating Committee met 7 times in 2015.

Risk Committee

The Risk Committee’s principal responsibility is to assist the Board in the review and oversight of the Company’s management of its enterprise-wide risk program (see discussion under “Risk Oversight” later in this proxy statement), including establishing, in consultation with senior management, acceptable risk tolerance levels for the Company and reporting this information to the Board. The Risk Committee met 5 times in 2015.

Credit Risk and CRA Committee

The purpose of the Committee is to oversee the credit and lending strategies and objectives of the Bank, including: (i) oversight of the credit risk management and strategies, including approval of internal credit policies and establishment of loan portfolio concentration limits; (ii) review of the quality and performance of the Bank’s loan portfolio; (iii) approval of intercompany loans subject to Regulation W and loans to Bank “insiders” (as defined under Regulation O) in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements; and (iv) oversight of the Bank’s Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) responsibilities, including the CRA Policy, fair lending, affirmative credit programs, community development and involvement, and compliance with technical requirements of the CRA.

The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee, Nominating Committee, Risk Committee and Credit Risk and CRA Committee responsibilities are described more fully within, and these

Committees operate under, written charters adopted by the Board. You may review these charters on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “About Us — Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the link, “Corporate Governance.” The principal responsibilities of the Standing Committees described above are qualified by reference to the charters of these committees and relevant sections of our bylaws.

Code of Conduct / Code of Ethics

The Company has a Code of Conduct that applies to all of the Company’s Directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s senior officers and employees. You may view copies of our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “About Us — Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the link “Corporate Governance.” In addition, the Company will provide copies of its Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics, without charge, to any person upon a written request sent to our Corporate Secretary at F.N.B. Corporation, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212. The Company will disclose any changes in or waivers from its Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics by posting the revised Code(s) or other related information on its website or by filing a Form 8-K.

Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes that, as a financial institution, the Company takes on a certain amount of risk in every business decision, transaction and activity. The Company’s Board and management have identified seven major categories of risk: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, reputational risk, strategic risk, operational risk and regulatory compliance risk. In its oversight role of the Company’s risk management function, the Board is mindful that risk management is not about eliminating risk, but rather is about identifying, accepting and managing risks so as to optimize total shareholder value, while balancing prudent business considerations and safety and soundness.

The Company supports its risk management process through a governance structure involving its Board and senior management. The Board’s Risk Committee helps ensure that business decisions in the organization are executed within our desired risk profile. The Risk Committee has the following oversight responsibilities: (i) identification, measurement, assessment, monitoring and controlling of enterprise-wide risk across the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) development of appropriate and meaningful risk metrics to use in connection with the oversight of the Company’s businesses and strategies; (iii) review and assessment of Company policies and practices to manage the Company’s credit, market, liquidity and operating risk (including technology, operational, compliance and fiduciary risks); and (iv) identification and implementation of risk management best practices. The Risk Committee serves as the primary point of contact between our Board and the FNBPA Risk Management Committee, which is the senior management level committee responsible for the bank’s risk management. In addition, effective as of January 1, 2015, the Company reorganized the board of directors of FNBPA, electing each of its current members to the FNBPA board. The combined board structure was implemented as part of an initiative to streamline and further strengthen the governance, oversight and risk management processes of the Company’s and FNBPA’s Boards of Directors.

As noted above, the Company’s principal subsidiary, FNBPA, has a Risk Management Committee comprised of senior management. The purpose of this committee is to provide regular oversight of specific areas of risk with respect to the level of risk and risk management structure. The FNBPA Risk Management Committee reports on a regular basis to the Company’s Risk Committee regarding the enterprise-wide risk profile of the Company and other significant risk management issues. F.N.B.’s Chief Risk Officer is responsible for the design and implementation of the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management strategy and framework and ensures the coordinated and consistent implementation of risk management initiatives and strategies on a day-to-day basis. Our Compliance Department, which reports to the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for developing policies and procedures and monitoring the bank’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Further, the Company’s audit function performs an independent assessment of the Company’s internal controls environment and plays an integral role in testing the operation of our internal controls systems and reporting findings to management and the Company’s Audit Committee. Both the Company’s Risk Committee and Audit Committee regularly report on risk-related matters to the Company’s Board. In addition, both the Company’s Risk Committee and FNBPA’s Risk Management Committee regularly assess the Company’s enterprise-wide risk profile and provide guidance on actions needed to address key and emerging risk issues.

The Board believes that the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management process is effective since it includes the following material components: (i) enables the Board to assess the quality of the information it receives; (ii) enables the Board to understand the businesses, investments and financial, accounting, regulatory and strategic considerations of F.N.B. and its subsidiaries, and the risks that they face; (iii) enables the Board to oversee and assess how senior management evaluates risk; and (iv) enables the Board to assess appropriately the quality of the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management process.

Corporate Governance

We have developed and operate under corporate governance principles and practices which are designed to optimize long-term shareholder value, align the interests of our Board and management with those of our shareholders and promote the highest ethical conduct among our directors, management and employees.

Highlights of portions of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as some of our corporate governance policies, practices, procedures and related matters are as follows:

•

Maintain Overwhelmingly Independent Board. Of the Board’s current 17 members, 14 are independent, including the Lead Independent Director.

Each of these committees operates under a written charter (posted on Corporation’s website at www.fnbcorporation.com) approved by the Board and annually reviewed by each committee.

•

Highly Qualified Audit Committee. Each of our Audit Committee members qualifies as financially literate, a financial expert and independent under applicable SEC and NYSE standards. Audit Committee members cannot serve on more than two other public company audit committees without the approval of our Board.

•

Internal Auditor Reports Directly to Audit Committee. Our internal auditor, who oversees our internal audit function, reports directly to our Audit Committee.

•

Independent Compensation Consultant. Our Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant whose sole service to F.N.B. is to provide the Committee with advice and guidance on our executive compensation program.

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. For details regarding our policy with regard to the consideration of director candidates recommended by our shareholders, we refer to “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for 2017 Annual Meeting” and “Identification and Evaluation of Director Nominees” elsewhere in this proxy statement and our Corporate Governance Guidelines at our corporate website.

•

Conduct Annual Board and Individual Director Self-Assessment Evaluations. The Board and its committees conduct rigorous annual self-evaluations.

•

Facilitate a Comprehensive Director Education Program. The F.N.B. director orientation and education program, more fully detailed in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, provides the opportunity for new directors to participate in orientation sessions, including meetings with Board leadership and senior management, mentorship arrangements and written materials describing, among other matters, company policies, fiduciary responsibilities, regulatory requirements and strategic plan objectives. Directors are provided an annual education stipend to enable them to attend outside educational conferences, including the ability to attend regional and national conferences. Each F.N.B. director attended at least one outside director education session or conference in 2015 (several F.N.B. directors attended multiple director education sessions). Additionally, our directors and committees are routinely provided articles to stay well-informed of current trends and best practices with respect to corporate governance, risk management, compensation, audit, regulatory and other related topics.

•

Expect Director Attendance at Meetings. The average attendance by directors at Board and committee meetings during 2015 was 92.63%. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the expectation that directors will attend all shareholder and Board meetings and those committee meetings of which they are a member, and at a minimum, at least 75% of Board and committee meetings in the aggregate.

•

Strive for Board Diversity. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines expressly state that we shall consider diversity, among other important factors, in connection with Board composition determinations.

Campbell, our Lead Director, presides at all executive sessions.

•

Maintain a De-Classified Board. Directors are elected annually by a majority of votes cast in an uncontested election.

•

Properly Align Executive Compensation. We have specific policies and practices to align executive compensation with long-term stockholder interest; these policies and practices are routinely reviewed by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with advice and counsel of a qualified independent consultant.

We also include additional information on these topics in other sections of this proxy statement.

Director Independence

Background. As a company that has securities listed on the NYSE, a majority of the members of our Board must be independent. Under the NYSE’s corporate governance standards, no director qualifies as independent unless our Board affirmatively determines that the director has no “material relationship” with F.N.B. The fact that a director or member of a director’s immediate family may have a material relationship with F.N.B. directly, or as a partner, owner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with F.N.B., will not necessarily preclude such director from being nominated for election to our Board. In assessing director independence, the Board must consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a material relationship exists. This portion of the proxy statement describes the NYSE independence standards for directors and the categorical independence standards that our Board adopted to guide it in evaluating director independence. The types of material relationships that the Board may consider under the NYSE and F.N.B. independence standards include commercial, legal, industrial, banking, business, consulting, accounting, charitable and family relationships.

The NYSE’s bright-line independence tests. The NYSE established director independence requirements in order to increase the quality of Board oversight at listed companies and to lessen the possibility that damaging conflicts of interests will influence Board decisions.

Some of the relationships that are deemed to automatically impair a director’s independence under NYSE’s “bright-line” tests include the following:

•

a director employed by F.N.B.;

•

a director’s immediate family member is an F.N.B. executive officer;

•

a director’s receipt of more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from F.N.B.;

•

a director (or immediate family member) who has been an executive officer of a company where an F.N.B. executive officer serves on that company’s compensation committee;

•

a director’s (or immediate family member’s) relationship involving companies that make business-related payments to, or receive business-related payments from, F.N.B. in excess of certain amounts; and

•

any of the above relationships that existed within the prior three years.

More detail regarding the NYSE’s bright-line director independence tests, including the explanatory commentary, may be found at the NYSE’s website at www.nyse.com. The NYSE’s corporate governance standards do not define every relationship that may be considered by our Board to be material for purposes of determining a director’s independence.

F.N.B. categorical standards of director independence. In addition to the NYSE bright-line independence standards, F.N.B. has adopted categorical independence standards. F.N.B. categorical independence standards are described in its Corporate Governance Guidelines which may be found on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “About Us — Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the link, “Corporate Governance.” The categorical independence standards define certain ordinary course of business transactions and other relationships that F.N.B.’s Board has concluded would not cause a director to cease to be independent. F.N.B.’s categorical standards include the following:

•

Financial relationship whereby a service or product provider that is an affiliated entity of a director or immediate family member has made payments to, or received payments from us, or our affiliates, in an amount that, in any of the last five fiscal years, does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of such provider’s consolidated gross revenue;

•

Business or financial transactions (e.g., loans, deposit accounts, or trust-, insurance- or investment-related services) with an affiliate of F.N.B., provided that such transaction is entered into in the ordinary course of business and on terms substantially similar to those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions for non-affiliated persons of F.N.B. or its affiliates and such transaction conforms with applicable federal regulatory standards (unless such transaction is a loan that is disclosed in the most recent federal bank examination as non-accrual, past due, restructured or having significant potential problems), and termination of the business or financial relationship in the ordinary course of business would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of F.N.B. or its affiliate;

•

A director or immediate family member is associated as a partner or associate of, or of counsel to, a law firm that provides services to F.N.B. or its affiliates and the payments relating to such services do not exceed $1,000,000 or 2%, whichever is greater, of the law firm’s revenues in each of the past five years;

•

A director or an immediate family member is a manager, officer or director of a charitable or not-for-profit entity that F.N.B. or its affiliates supports through grants or other support and the contributions by F.N.B. do not exceed the greater of $250,000 or 2% of the charitable organization’s or not-for-profit entity’s annual receipts; and

•

Participation by a director, the director’s immediate family member or an affiliated entity in financing transactions sponsored by F.N.B. Capital which are made in the ordinary course of business and are made on substantially the same terms as those made available to F.N.B. Capital will not be deemed material for director independence determination purposes unless the director or immediate family member is an officer, director or owner of 10% or more of the business enterprise or the entity to which F.N.B. Capital is furnishing any such financing or equity capital; and

In applying the NYSE and F.N.B. categorical independence standards, an “immediate family member” includes a director’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law and anyone who resides in such director’s home.

All relevant facts and circumstances. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our Board “broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances” especially in particular situations not covered by the NYSE bright-line independence standards or our categorical independence standards.

As required by the NYSE’s corporate governance rules, we will disclose any relationship that a director has with us that is not consistent with either the NYSE bright-line independence standards or our categorical independence standards in this proxy statement.

Director Independence Determinations

On February 17, 2016, our Board, with the assistance of the Nominating Committee, conducted an evaluation of F.N.B. director independence based on the director independence standards set forth in the F.N.B.

Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE corporate governance standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations. As a result of this evaluation, our Board affirmatively determined that each of Mses. Ellsworth and Nicholas and Messrs. Campbell, Chiafullo, Hormell, Martz, Malone, McCarthy, Mencini, Motley, Rooney, Stanik, Strimbu and Wahl is an independent director.

In making these determinations, the Board considered the categories of transactions, relationships and arrangements that existed between each independent director and the Company or its subsidiaries. The following chart reflects relationships between F.N.B and each independent director, such director’s spouse and immediate family members (“Personal or Family Relationships”), and a company or charitable organization of which such director or the director’s spouse is, or was, during 2015, a partner, officer, director, employee, or in which the director or the director’s spouse holds a significant ownership position (“Affiliated Entity Relationships”). All of these transactions meet our Board guidance on independence (e.g., in the ordinary course, not preferential and fair market value).

Business or Financial (Customer) Transactions. We provide financial services and products to most of our directors and some of their immediate family members and affiliated entities, as outlined in the table above. We provide these services and products in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including price, that are provided to unrelated, similarly situated customers.

We also extend credit to some of our directors and their immediate family members and affiliated entities. Federal banking law (Regulation O) governs these extensions of credit. We have incorporated the Regulation O requirements as part of the F.N.B. categorical independence standards.

Financial Relationship With Service or Product Provider. We lease a club box at Heinz Field football stadium from an affiliate of Pittsburgh Steelers Sports, Inc. for client entertainment purposes. Mr. Rooney is a co-owner of Pittsburgh Steelers Sports. Terms and conditions of our lease are substantially the same as those with unrelated persons and entities.

Contributions to Charitable Organizations. As part of FNBPA’s community reinvestment outreach initiative, during 2015, FNBPA donated to Imani Christian Academy, a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization that offers an alternative to the public education system, particularly for children from under-performing school districts. This donation is eligible for a 90% Pennsylvania tax credit which will reduce the overall Company expense. Ms. Ellsworth is chair of the school’s board of directors.

Former Director Rose’s stepson is a nonexecutive employee of our subsidiary, F.N.B. Investment Advisors Company. His aggregate compensation in each of the last three years has been less than $100,000.

Additional transactions, relationships and arrangements that were considered by the Board are disclosed under the caption, “Related Person Transactions.”

Our Board affirmatively determined that Messrs. Gurgovits (former CEO), Delie (CEO) and Nalbandian (former Chairman, President and CEO of Metro Bancorp, Inc.) are not independent under the NYSE corporate governance standards and F.N.B.’s categorical director independence standards by virtue of their former (Mr. Gurgovits) or current employment (CEO Delie) with the Corporation or, in the case of Mr. Nalbandian, his former employment with a company acquired by the Corporation.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among the executive officers and directors of the Company.

Executive Sessions of our Board

William B. Campbell, our independent Lead Director, or another independent director designated by him, presides at each executive session meeting. Our Board conducted eight (8) executive sessions in 2015, of which three (3) were attended exclusively by independent and non-management directors and five (5) which were attended exclusively by non-management directors.

Director Stock Ownership Requirement

Our Board believes that each director’s equity ownership in the Corporation should be aligned with the Corporation’s shareholders. Accordingly, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require each of our directors to have beneficial ownership of the lesser of 35,000 shares of Corporation common stock (or common stock equivalent) or $350,000 in value of the Corporation’s common stock (or common stock equivalent). The Corporation’s director stock ownership requirement is phased in over a five-year period. As of March 31, 2016, each F.N.B. director is in compliance with the stock ownership requirement.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR BOARD

Shareholders or other interested parties may send communications to our Board, the independent directors as a group, Board Chairman, any committee Chairmen, and/or any individual director, including our Lead Director, by addressing such communications to the Board, c/o Corporate Secretary, F.N.B. Corporation, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212. The Corporate Secretary, or his designee, will promptly forward all such communications submitted and addressed in this manner to the members of our

Board or any designated individual director or directors, as the case may be. Our Corporate Secretary will forward all shareholder communications with the Board or individual directors without prior screening by the Corporate Secretary or any other employee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) requires our executive officers and directors, as well as certain persons who beneficially own 10% or more of our common stock, to file reports of their ownership of our securities, as well as statements of changes in such ownership, with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on written representations received from our executive officers and directors and copies of the statements of ownership changes furnished to us by our executive officers and directors during 2015, we believe that all such filings required during 2015 were made on a timely basis. We do not have any shareholders who own 10% or more of our common stock who are required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

We are not aware of any shareholder who was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2015, except for the entities identified in the table below:


Name and Address	Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership(1)			Percent of Outstanding Common Stock Beneficially Owned(2)
BlackRock, Inc. 55 East 52^nd Street New York, NY 10055		19,742,300	(3)		11.25	%

Under the regulations of the SEC, a person who has or shares voting or investment power with respect to a security is considered a beneficial owner of the security. Voting power, is the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, and investment power is the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of shares.

(2)	Based on 175,441,670 shares of Corporation common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2015.

(3)	According to Schedule 13G/A filed under the Exchange Act on January 8, 2016, by BlackRock, Inc. The Schedule 13G/A states that BlackRock, Inc. has sole voting power as to 19,363,941 shares and sole dispositive power as to 19,742,300 shares.

(4)

According to Schedule 13G/A filed under the Exchange Act on February 10, 2016, by The Vanguard Group, Inc.

In such capacity, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP or its subsidiaries have sole voting power as to 8,752,758 shares and sole dispositive power as to all 8,916,131 shares.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

We have adopted a written policy formalizing the manner in which we review a proposed transaction involving the Company and any of our directors, any director nominees, any executive officers, any 5% or greater shareholder or any immediate family member of the foregoing (“related persons”) because of the possibility of a conflict of interest. A copy of this “Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions” is posted on our website at www.fnbcorporation.com under the tab, “About Us – Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the link, “Corporate Governance.” Under our policy, all proposed related person transactions except for (i) transactions generally available to all employees or shareholders of the Company, and (ii) compensatory transactions consistent with the plans, policies and decisions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, must receive the prior approval of the Nominating Committee of our Board before we can take part in the transaction, and if such transaction continues for more than one year, the Nominating Committee and Board must annually approve the transaction. For purposes of this policy, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Consistent with the SEC rule, our policy provides that certain transactions, including employment relationships and ordinary course non-preferential transactions, entered into with a related person are not considered to be related person transactions and are not required to be disclosed or approved by the Nominating Committee. The category of related persons generally consists of the Company’s Directors, director nominees and executive officers, holders of 5% or more of the Company’s common stock, immediate family members of the foregoing persons and any entity owned or controlled by the foregoing persons.

Mr. Gurgovits’ son, is the former President of F.N.B. Capital Corporation, LLC, a merchant banking subsidiary of the Corporation. Due to the uncertainty as to whether the F.N.B. Capital investment activities would continue to be permissible under the final Dodd-Frank Volcker rules, Mr. Gurgovits’ son, along with the other F.N.B. Capital principals, including former Director Rose’s nephew, resigned from F.N.B. Capital effective July 31, 2013. Mr. Gurgovits’ son, along with former Director Rose’s nephew and his fellow principals, established a new company called F.N.B. Capital Partners, LP, as a Small Business Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBIC Fund”) in 2013 (former Director Rose did not stand for re-election at our 2015 annual Meeting and his Board term ended in May 2015). Mr. Gurgovits’ son and former Director Rose’s nephew and the other principals are the sole owners of Tecum Capital Management (“Tecum”), the general partner of F.N.B. Capital Partners, LP. In view of the detailed knowledge and experience that the Tecum principals had with respect to the F.N.B. Capital investment portfolio, F.N.B. Capital entered into an asset management agreement whereby Tecum manages the F.N.B. Capital investment portfolio for a quarterly fee based on the amount of assets under management. The economics and terms of the asset management arrangement were agreed to pursuant to an arms-length negotiation between F.N.B. Capital and Tecum. In 2015, F.N.B. Capital made total payments to Tecum of approximately $75,000 in fees pursuant to terms of the asset management arrangement. In addition, F.N.B. Capital paid approximately $91,796 in 2015 to Tecum, and these payments represented the aggregate performance incentive payments owed to former F.N.B. Capital employees under the terms of F.N.B. Capital’s incentive compensation plan based on the payout and performance of certain F.N.B. Capital portfolio companies.¹The payment of the aggregate performance incentive compensation to Tecum was in accordance with F.N.B. Capital’s incentive compensation policies and practices (and based on prevailing industry practices for similar type merchant banking arrangements) and subject to review and approval by the F.N.B. Capital Board members.

In accordance with the terms of the F.N.B. Capital Incentive Compensation Program, F.N.B. Capital employees (designated at the time an investment is made) are entitled to an incentive cash award which is contingent upon F.N.B. Capital’s achievement of a pre-set cumulative preferred return on equity of 15%. The F.N.B. Capital Incentive Compensation Program provides that the 2015 performance incentive payment amount is to be based on the net proceeds of the specific investments, as determined under the incentive program. The F.N.B. Capital Incentive Compensation Program provides that former F.N.B. Capital employees are entitled to the incentive payments in the event the investments meet the targeted performance hurdles, subject to review and approval by the F.N.B. Capital board of directors.

In addition, as of December 31, 2015, as anchor investor, F.N.B. has a commitment to invest an aggregate amount of $14,700,000 (representing a 21.94% equity interest) in the SBIC Fund, subject to the same material terms and conditions as those of other co-investors in the SBIC Fund. In connection with this investment and the aforementioned management agreement, F.N.B. is permitting Tecum and the SBIC Fund to use the name, “F.N.B. Capital Partners.” The SBIC Fund has 61 co-investors, including six non-affiliated bank investors. The total commitment of all investors in the SBIC Fund is $64,990,000. Former Director Goldstein, who retired from the F.N.B. Board in March 2015, and former Director Rose each have a 1.692% equity investment in the SBIC Fund. Mr. Gurgovits, Sr., has a 0.846% equity investment and his wife has a 0.6% equity investment in the SBIC Fund. Both Director Gurgovits, Sr., and former Director Rose are on the SBIC Fund Board of Advisors and Mr. Gurgovits, Sr., is on its Investment Committee. As of December 31, 2015, F.N.B. has invested approximately $12,951,178 into the SBIC Fund (leaving a remaining unfunded commitment of $1,748,822).

Director Nalbandian is the former Chairman, President and CEO of Metro Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company that was acquired by F.N.B. by merger on February 13, 2016. Mr. Nalbandian’s positions with Metro Bancorp and its subsidiary, Metro Bank, were terminated effective February 13, 2016, as a result of the merger. On February 12, 2016, Mr. Nalbandian was elected to the F.N.B. Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between F.N.B. and Metro Bancorp, Inc., dated as of August 4, 2015, which provided for one member of the Metro Bancorp board of directors, as mutually agreed by F.N.B. and Metro Bancorp, to be appointed as a director of F.N.B. and FNBPA, and requires F.N.B. to nominate said director for election at the next annual meeting of F.N.B. shareholders which immediately follows the effective time of the merger, and to solicit proxies for said director in the same manner as for all other members of F.N.B.’s slate of directors for that meeting. Additionally, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, F.N.B. agreed to honor the contractual obligations of Metro and Metro Bank to their current and former employees, including Director Nalbandian. Under the terms of his employment agreement with Metro, Director Nalbandian is entitled to receive approximately $2.4 million as a change-in-control payment due to the completion of the merger between F.N.B. and Metro Bancorp; immediate vesting of all unvested incentive compensation awards, including equity awards; and continued disability and life insurance benefits for three years. To satisfy a precondition to F.N.B.’s obligation to provide the payments and benefits contemplated by the employment agreement, Mr. Nalbandian has executed a general release and non-disparagement agreement and must comply with certain confidentiality and non-competition provisions. F.N.B. will also provide Director Nalbandian and his dependents continued medical insurance coverage for the rest of Director Nalbandian’s life. Lastly, Director Nalbandian is a third-party beneficiary of Section 6.7 under the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Under this provision, F.N.B. will be obligated (i) to indemnify and hold harmless Director Nalbandian against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reimbursement for reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of legal counsel), and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil criminal or administrative, to which Director Nalbandian is made a party or is threatened to be made a party; and (ii) to advance expenses as incurred by Director Nalbandian prior to the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Pursuant to this provision, F.N.B. also has purchased and is required to maintain for a period of six years directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance for the persons who were covered by Metro Bancorp’s directors’ and officers’ insurance and fidelity liability insurance policies, including Director Nalbandian, in amounts and coverages that are equivalent to the policies maintained by Metro Bancorp. Additionally, FNBPA leases 4,744 square feet in a local business center from NN&S Associates, of which Director Nalbandian is a partner. FNBPA utilizes this leased space as a storage facility. The lease was originally entered into by NN&S Associates and FNBPA’s predecessor by merger, Metro Bank, on November 1, 2006, and will expire on October 31, 2016. The current monthly lease amount is $5,161.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND

OTHER PROXY DISCLOSURE

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) during 2015 were Messrs. Malone, Motley and Strimbu and Ms. Ellsworth. Neither we nor FNBPA has ever employed any member of the Committee. No such member has, during our last fiscal year, any relationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K or under the Compensation Committee Interlocks disclosure requirements of Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K. We have determined that the Committee members are independent under the NYSE corporate governance standards, and are non-employees under the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board has delegated to the Committee the responsibility of setting the compensation of our directors, CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Section 16 officers. The Committee met ten times in 2015.

Authority and Responsibilities

The Committee administers our executive compensation programs, including the oversight of executive compensation policies and decisions, administration of our equity incentive plan and the annual cash incentive award plan applicable to Section 16 officers. The Committee administers and interprets our qualified and non-qualified benefit plans, establishes guidelines, approves participants in the non-qualified plans, approves grants and awards, and exercises other power and authority required and permitted under the plans and its Charter. The Committee also reviews and approves executive officer, including CEO, compensation, including, as applicable, salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive compensation levels, perquisites and equity compensation. The Committee Charter reflects its responsibilities. The Committee reviews its Charter annually and recommends any proposed changes to the Board. A copy of the Committee Charter is available at our website, at www.fnbcorporation com under the tab, “About Us – Investor Relations & Shareholder Services” and then clicking on the link “Corporate Governance.”

Delegation

From time to time, and subject to statutory and regulatory limitations, the Committee may delegate authority to fulfill various functions of administering the Company’s plans to our employees. Currently, it delegates administration of our qualified plans to the Pension Committee, a committee of our senior officers who have the appropriate expertise, experience and background in handling defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

Independent Compensation Consultant

The Committee engaged two independent compensation consultants, Pearl Meyer & Partners (“PM&P”) and McLagan, an Aon Hewitt company (collectively “Consultants”), to assist it in evaluating our compensation practices and to provide ongoing advice and recommendations regarding CEO, NEO and director compensation that are consistent with our business goals and pay philosophy. The Committee selected the Consultants for, among other reasons, their reputations for providing comprehensive solutions to complex compensation challenges facing companies and specific expertise in the financial services industry. PM&P provided market information and analysis as background to decisions regarding 2015 total compensation, including base salary and short- and long-term incentives, for the CEO, other NEOs and other senior officers and directors. Neither of the Consultants are affiliated with us nor did they provide any other services or perform other work for us in 2015. In addition to McLagan, an AON Hewitt affiliate, Radford, provided accounting services to us related to our long-term incentive plan. The Committee has reviewed all services provided by the Consultants in 2015, and has determined that they are independent with respect to SEC standards.

The consultants reported directly to the Chairman of the Committee. In performance of their duties, the Consultants interacted with our CEO, CFO, Executive Vice President, Human Resources and other employees. The

CEO had various discussions with the Consultants related to our compensation programs, philosophy and Peer Group. Additionally, the CEO regularly attended Compensation Committee meetings and discussed with the Consultants and the Committee members, both during meetings and outside meetings, the appropriate base salary and short-term and long-term compensation of the Section 16 officers. The CFO regularly attended meetings of the Committee to discuss Company performance relative to the short-term and long-term plans versus peers. In addition, the Consultants communicated with, took direction from, and regularly interacted with the Chairman of the Committee and other members of the Committee in addition to attending Committee meetings on an as-needed basis.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

Overview

We have designed our compensation programs to link strong corporate performance to increased total compensation. We review our philosophy and our compensation programs annually to ensure that we are being competitive in attracting and retaining the appropriate executive talent, while maintaining good corporate governance practices. While we conduct an annual review, our executive compensation philosophy has remained consistent for several years. In determining executive compensation for 2015, the Committee considered the overwhelming support that the “Say-on-Pay” proposal received at our May 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2014 Annual Meeting”) pertaining to 2013 compensation and the related Compensation Discussion and Analysis disclosure of 2013 compensation and certain 2014 items. Over 97% of the shareholders who voted on our proposal supported our compensation program. As a result, the Committee continued to apply the same effective principles and philosophy it has used in previous years in determining executive compensation and will continue to consider shareholder concerns and future advisory votes. Thus, we will continue to provide an advisory vote to shareholders on an annual basis consistent with the frequency vote supported by the shareholders at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders². Furthermore, our CEO and CFO will continue to frequently meet with shareholders and prospective investors, while our Investor Relations Department will remain continually available to shareholders in order to ensure adequate methods to receive shareholder sentiment.

²	We are conducting an advisory vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Corporate Performance

Once again, we exceeded our financial plan in 2015 despite continued industry pressure on earnings. As the charts below demonstrate, we have grown rapidly while simultaneously remaining profitable and efficient. This combination has given our shareholders above median returns over the time period.

LOGO

The following accomplishments during 2015 were also key to our success last year and will help position us for continued success:

•

We announced the acquisition of Metro Bancorp and completed a branch acquisition from Bank of America which will further solidify our central Pennsylvania presence.

•

We continue to return a strong dividend to our shareholders. Our dividend yield, as measured at year-end since 2005, has been at or above the 85th percentile of our Regional Peer Group.

•

Credit quality trends were favorable throughout 2015 and remain strong.

•

We continue to exceed federal bank regulatory agency “well-capitalized” thresholds.

Summary of 2015 Executive Compensation Actions

Compensation Philosophy

During 2015, the Compensation Committee adopted a formal executive compensation philosophy to guide future compensation decisions. The overall goal of our compensation program is to provide median pay for median performance, below median pay for below median performance, and above median pay for above median performance.

Salaries

•

Increases: From 2014 to 2015, salary increases ranged from 3% - 18% for the executive officers.

•

Current Positioning: After a prolonged period of lagging the peer group, we believe the officer’s current salaries are in line with median pay for similar positions in the market.

Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (EIC Plan)

•

Performance Metrics: We replaced our performance metrics from the 2014 EIC Plan. Incentive payouts in 2015 were based on EPS vs. budget, return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE) vs. peers, and efficiency ratio vs. peers. We believe these measures closely align our annual performance goals and shareholder interests, support our long term expectations and properly reward management.

•

Payout: Based on our performance, we paid executives’ bonuses under the plan at 137.24% of target.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

•

Plan Structure: We granted our executives equity based on a predefined matrix defining grant values as a percentage of salary.

•

67% of award is performance-based

•

33% of award is service-based

•

Performance Metric: The structure of the award was similar to prior years and we continued the practice started in 2014 utilizing relative TSR as the metric to assess performance for the performance-based portion of the award. We believe, as a long-term measure, TSR provides a good peer comparison that creates shareholder value while properly rewarding management when delivering value.

Supplemental Grant

•

Review of Historical Performance and Pay: During 2015, after formalizing our compensation philosophy, we reviewed our recent performance and corresponding compensation paid to our CEO and CFO.

•

Performance: As demonstrated in the Corporate Performance section, we have grown rapidly while simultaneously remaining profitable and efficient. This combination has given our shareholders above median returns over the time period. During 2015, we also announced the acquisition of Metro Bancorp to continue our growth.

•

Pay: In spite of FNB’s strong performance, the CEO and the CFO have historically been compensated well below median of the peers. We also noted that their ownership of FNB stock is well below peer levels.

•

Pay for Performance: In order to stay consistent with our pay for performance compensation philosophy and encourage future retention of our high-performing CEO and CFO, we made equity grants outside of our annual plan to Mr. Delie and Mr. Calabrese during 2015.

•

Key Provisions: The awards cliff vest over three years, contingent on meeting an ROATCE trigger and continued employment. In the case of a change in control, the awards only accelerate upon a termination in connection with the change in control (“double trigger”).

Key Compensation Governance Highlights


Policy		Description
Stock Ownership Policy		Our directors and all recipients of our Long-Term Incentive Awards, including our NEOs, are currently in compliance with a robust stock ownership policy.
Anti-Hedging Policy		Our anti-hedging policy prohibits our directors, NEOs, and certain senior level managers from engaging in hedging transactions with Company stock.
Clawback Policy		Our compensation recoupment or clawback policy allows our Board to recoup any excess compensation paid to our NEOs if the Company restates its financial results upon which an award is based due to fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence.
Risk Assessment		We annually conduct a risk assessment of all of our compensation plans and the Committee annually reviews the assessment to ensure the compensation programs do not encourage inappropriate risk taking.

Compensation Philosophy

During 2015, the Compensation Committee reexamined its executive compensation philosophy and adopted a formal philosophy to guide future compensation decisions. The overall goal of our compensation program is to pay at the median for median performance, below median pay for below median performance, and above median pay for above median performance.

The following table shows why we pay each component and how we intend to position our compensation relative to the market.


		Percentile Rank to Market
Component	Why We Pay this Component	Median Performance	Superior Performance
Salary	We provide base salary to all salaried employees, including the NEOs, in order to provide each employee with a degree of financial certainty. Competitive base salaries further our compensation program objectives by allowing us to attract and retain talented employees by providing a fixed portion of compensation upon which all employees can rely.	50^th Percentile	50^th Percentile

Annual Incentive (EIC Plan)	We believe that a significant amount of our NEOs’ compensation should be contingent on our performance. Our annual incentive plan focuses on our E.P.S., ROATCE and our efficiency ratio. We believe a focus on those metrics will increase our total shareholder return. By paying a portion of the NEOs’ total compensation in variable incentive pay, we expect to drive our annual performance while increasing long-term shareholder value.

Long-Term Incentive Plan	We believe providing performance (2/3 of total equity) and service-based (1/3 of total equity) restricted stock units is an effective means of promoting long-term stock ownership by NEOs and rewards management for creating long-term shareholder value. We also believe that placing a significant portion of an executive’s compensation in stock, through restricted stock units, causes executives to focus on long-term performance resulting in risk mitigation and clearly aligns management and shareholder interests. We presently do not grant stock options.

Direct Compensation	Includes salary, annual incentive plan payouts, and long-term incentive plan payouts. To keep a strong link between pay and performance, we prefer to place more weight on performance-based incentives rather than benefits like SERPs, pensions and other forms of non-direct compensation. By targeting a higher compensation positioning for direct compensation, we expect to be approximately at our targeted positioning for total compensation.	60^th Percentile	Top Quartile

Other Benefits and Perquisites	We do not have an active SERP or pension as we prefer compensation to be performance-based. Other perquisites are intended to be in line with market practice, including health and welfare benefits on the same basis as our general employee population.

Total Compensation	Includes all elements in this table.	50^th Percentile	Top Quartile

Benchmarks

We desire our compensation programs to be competitive in the marketplace. Thus, for purposes of 2015 compensation, we compared ourself against commercial banks with assets in the $8 billion to $28 billion range, located in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and South Regions (“Peer Group”)³ that includes the following financial institutions:


Associated Banc-Corp		Old National Bancorp
BancorpSouth, Inc.		PrivateBancorp, Inc.
BOK Financial Corp.		Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
Commerce Bancshares, Inc.		Signature Bank
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.		Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc.
First Horizon National Corp.		Synovos Financial Corp.
First Midwest Bancorp, Inc.		TCF Financial Corporation
FirstMerit Corporation		Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
Fulton Financial Corporation		Trustmark Corp.
Hancock Holding Co.		UMB Financial Corporation
IBERIABANK Corp.		United Bankshares, Inc.
International Bancshares Corp.		Valley National Bancorp
MB Financial, Inc.		Wintrust Financial Corporation
National Penn Bancshares, Inc.

For purposes of comparing base salary, annual incentives, and long-term compensation, the Committee conducts a review of its benchmarks throughout the year with assistance from its independent compensation consultant using a variety of methods such as direct analysis of proxy statements of companies in the peer group, as well as a review of a compilation of survey data of companies of a similar size published by several sources. At the time of setting 2015 base salary and making short-term and long-term compensation awards for 2015, there were the 27 organizations noted above in the Peer Group. Our asset size after the completion of the acquisitions we completed in 2015 and our organic growth is approximately $16.1 billion and approximates the 41^st percentile of the Peer Group. We compete for talent with the institutions in our peer group, as well as large financial institutions in our geographic markets. We believe the peer group is diverse and provides the necessary depth to be meaningful in setting salary and incentive goals. We believe these companies are an appropriate group against which to benchmark our compensation given their asset size compared to our existing size and the size to which we seek to grow in the future. After setting 2015 base salaries, we believe our NEOs’ base compensation approximates the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group.

The various components of the NEOs’ total compensation are detailed below.

Base Salary

•

How We Determine the Amount

Each year the Committee reviews salaries and determines adjustments to each NEO’s base salary based upon an assessment of the NEO’s performance versus job responsibilities, including the impact of such performance and contributions on our financial results. We target base salary for NEOs at the median of the peer group. We review base salary annually and adjust it as the Committee deems appropriate. In certain cases, the Committee increases base salary in order to raise the NEO’s annual salary to reflect more closely the annual salaries of comparably performing peer group executives.

Mid-Atlantic region includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The Midwest region includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The South region includes Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Typically, we preliminarily review the compensation levels of our NEOs in the last quarter of the year in evaluating the upcoming year, including potential salary adjustments. When we conducted such a review, we noted that our CEO, CFO and Bank President’s compensation levels were well below the peer median. For 2015, we attempted to raise the NEOs’ compensation close to the peer median. In the fall of 2014, we noted the market compensation of NEOs in our Peer Group moved significantly, especially with respect to CEO compensation. Therefore, generally, our NEOs were lagging the Peer Group in compensation despite our continued strong performance over a period of years.

Based on the above information, Mr. Delie’s continued strong leadership and the Company’s strong performance compared to its peers over a long period, despite various continued challenges to earnings, effective January 1, 2015, we increased Mr. Delie’s annual base salary to the median of the Peer Group we used for setting base compensation. We believe that Mr. Delie’s total compensation level is competitive with chief executive officers’ salaries within the financial services industries and the Peer Group and is consistent with the Company’s philosophy.

At the same time we reviewed Mr. Delie’s compensation, we also reviewed each of the other Section 16 officer’s salaries to determine where salary and total compensation fell compared to the Peer Group median and whether it was consistent with our compensation philosophy. Again, at the time of setting 2015 base salaries, the Committee noted that the NEOs’ base salaries were below the 35^th percentile of the Peer Group. Accordingly, the Committee determined it appropriate to bring each of the NEOs’ salaries to the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group in stages and set their 2015 salaries as more particularly noted in the table below.


Name	2014 Salary	2015 Salary	% Increase	Approximate Market Positioning After Increase
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.	770,016	905,016	18%	50th
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr.	385,008	445,008	16%	50th
John C. Williams, Jr.	380,008	408,000	6%	50th
Gary L. Guerrieri	350,016	360,000	3%	50th
Robert M. Moorehead	n/a	315,000	n/a	<50th
Barry C. Robinson	n/a	305,016	n/a	<50th

Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson were not Section 16 officers in 2014 or at the time of setting 2015 base salary; therefore, their salaries were not set by the Committee. In 2015, we set the NEOs 2016 salaries as follows: Delie - $928,008; Calabrese - $460,008; Guerrieri - $390,000; Moorehead - $375,000; and Robinson - $359,016.

•

Relation of Base Salary to Other Components of Compensation

An NEO’s base salary is a reference point for the executive’s annual incentive opportunities. The Committee determines the level at which each NEO participates in the annual executive incentive compensation program (“EIC Plan”) under the F.N.B. Corporation 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan, as Amended and Restated May 20, 2015 (“2007 Plan” or “Incentive Plan”). This level is typically expressed as a percentage amount. For example, if an NEO participates in the EIC Plan at the 40% level, it means that the NEO’s target incentive opportunity is the NEO’s base salary multiplied by 40%. In addition, prior to 2007, base salary was the only component of compensation in the formula used to calculate an NEO’s pension benefit accrual under the Company’s Pension Plan. An NEO may also defer a portion of his or her base salary and bonus into the Company’s 401(k) Plan.

Annual Incentive Awards

We intend our EIC Plan to provide additional compensation to our NEOs in the form of performance-based awards that are based on our achievement of certain financial objectives. The EIC Plan is open to each NEO.

•

How We Determine the Amount

Philosophy

We target short-term, annual incentive compensation of the CEO and the other NEOs such that their compensation is tied directly to our performance. We measure our annual performance against three weighted target goals set by the Committee: E.P.S., ROATCE and efficiency ratio. We believe these performance goals are financial measures that are critical to our growth and profitability, as well as contributors to the long-term creation and preservation of shareholder value. In evaluating performance, the Committee considers in the calculation unusual factors and their resulting effect on our performance, i.e. significant merger and acquisition transactions, unusual investment gains or losses, corporate and balance sheet restructuring, significant asset sales and other items it deems appropriate in measuring our performance against the target goal. We set the target incentive award level for each NEO based upon market-competitive incentive opportunities as provided by PM&P for executives performing similar duties and we have the sole discretion to determine all annual bonuses for the CEO and other NEOs. In 2014, we noted that the market median for short-term incentive compensation has also moved such that some of our NEOs’ target short-term incentive compensation was below market median. Since it is our philosophy to pay at market median for target performance, we believed it appropriate to increase by 5% the target short-term incentive for our CEO, and 10% for Messrs. Calabrese and Williams for 2015; all of which were reflected in the tables below.

Calculation

Our 2015 performance goals are reflected in the table below.

Performance Goals


Key Performance Measurement	Weight		Threshold	Target	Maximum
E.P.S. vs. Budget		70%	$0.780 (90% Budget)	$0.867 (100% Budget)	$0.954 (110% Budget)
ROATCE vs. Peer Group		20%	25^thPercentile	50^thPercentile	75^thPercentile
Efficiency Ratio vs. Peer Group		10%	25^thPercentile	50^thPercentile	75^thPercentile
Total		100%

We calculate performance for each specific key performance measurement independently to determine the payout for that key performance measurement. The sum of the awards for each key performance measurement determines the total incentive award.

The CEO and other NEOs have an incentive opportunity expressed as a percentage of each of their base salaries, with the possibility of achieving an incentive payout as more particularly set forth in the table below. We interpolate for performance between levels.

The payout potential established for each NEO in 2015 was as follows:


Name	Below Threshold			Threshold (50%)			Target (100%)			Maximum (200%)
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.		0	%		40	%		80	%		160	%
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr.		0	%		30	%		60	%		120	%
John C. Williams, Jr.		0	%		30	%		60	%		120	%

Barry C. Robinson(1)		0	%		25	%		50	%		100	%

The Committee did not set for Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson; targets for 2015 as they were not Section 16 officers in 2014. The amounts reflected above are for their current positions.

2015 Awards

The chart below reflects our 2015 performance for purposes of our EIC Plan and is more particularly detailed in the narrative below the chart:

Performance result between target and maximum is interpolated between levels.

After adjustments for certain non-recurring items, E.P.S. was $0.876⁴, 101.0% of the target E.P.S. goal, and we had ROATCE of 14.52% and an efficiency ratio of 56.12%, both greatly exceeding comparison to peers. The Committee certified the adjustment to the E.P.S. results of $0.016 per share, predominantly due to an exclusion of merger costs of $0.011 and interest expense on subordinated notes, preemptively issued in anticipation of closing the Metro transaction and Fifth Third bank acquisition, of $0.005. Based on our results, the formula under our EIC Plan provided for a payment for corporate performance for each NEO at 137.24% of his target award amount. Based upon our continued outstanding results versus our Peer Group and performance relative to our financial plan, the Committee determined it appropriate to apply the formula and provide each NEO, other than Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson, an annual incentive bonus of 137.24% of the NEO’s target as more particularly reflected in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table, rather than exercise any downward discretion. For Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson, the Committee reviewed and approved payouts consistent with their incentive plans for their respective operating units before they became executive officers.

Relation of Annual Incentives to Other Components of Compensation


E.P.S.	After Tax Adjustments	Amount
As reported		$	0.860
	Merger-related costs		0.011
	Sub-Debt interest		0.005
As adjusted		$	0.876

As noted above under the Base Salary discussion, annual incentive compensation is directly related to base compensation. An NEO may also defer a portion of his bonus into the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Previously, we used any cash bonus paid to any participant in the defined benefit plan, including NEOs, in calculating each participant’s retirement benefit. Since 2011, we have not made any additional accruals for any participant in the defined benefit plan.

Long-Term Awards

We awarded service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards to our NEOs under our 2007 Plan as more particularly stated in the 2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table. The restricted stock awards reward NEOs based on the Company’s achievement of certain financial objectives, in the case of performance-based awards, and assist us in the retention of our key executives. The 2007 Plan is open to each NEO and all other salaried personnel selected by our CEO and the Committee for participation.

•

How We Determine the Amount

We establish a target award level for each NEO based upon the executive officer’s level of responsibility, and set the levels such that the award amount increases as the officer’s level of responsibility in the organization increases. At the time of granting the awards, the Committee sets the award amount for each participant level in a manner designed to provide competitive long-term compensation based on data provided by PM&P as market-competitive incentive opportunities for executives performing similar duties. We split the award into two components, one-third as a service-based award (“Service-Based Awards”) and two-thirds as a performance-based award (“Performance-Based Awards”). Commencing with 2014 awards, both awards vest in full at the end of three years. The performance awards only vest if we meet certain performance requirements set forth in the awards. We believe this allocation of equity awards is appropriate since the Service-Based Awards reward NEOs for loyalty to us, encourage stock ownership and help us retain our key executives. The Performance-Based Awards help drive our performance, while creating shareholder value by linking the shareholders’ interests and the NEOs’ interests in long-term success. The NEO will forfeit both types of awards if the NEO terminates employment before the cliff vesting date, other than as a result of retirement, death or disability. The Committee used survey data from PM&P when positioning the target long-term incentive compensation such that an award when realized by the NEO at target, as a percent of salary, would approximate the market median. The Committee also considered the

accounting impact on earnings and recommendations of the CEO with respect to all NEOs other than himself when making the awards.

Our Performance-Based Awards are designed to align management’s long-term incentive compensation with our total shareholder return objective. In order to qualify for vesting of the awards we granted in 2015, each NEO must meet two criteria. The NEO must remain continuously employed by us from the date of the award to the vesting date and our relative total shareholder return during the performance period must equal or exceed the 25^th percentile performance of peer financial institutions. If the NEOs do not meet the criteria, the awards will not vest and the NEOs will not receive any shares or payment. If the NEOs meet the criteria, the number of Performance-Based Awards that vest is contingent upon the degree of our achievement of certain performance levels compared to a group of peer financial institutions. Our performance levels are based on our relative total shareholder return during a three-year performance period versus our Peer Group. We believe the size of the Peer Group (27) is large enough to reduce potential volatility that may result when peer financial institutions are acquired during the three-year performance period and, therefore, are unavailable for measurement comparison purposes. We expect the Peer Group to provide a meaningful comparison based upon our current asset size and anticipated growth over the award performance period.


Performance Level	Percent Rank	Vesting Percentage
Threshold	25th Percentile		25% of Target
Target	50th Percentile		100% of Target
Maximum	75th Percentile		175% of Target

We target TSR in the 50th percentile of the Peer Group, with threshold performance at the 25th percentile and a maximum payout for performance at or above the 75th percentile. We have two further restrictions on the vesting of the RSUs:

•

The vested RSUs will be limited to the target amount if FNB’s TSR is negative, and

•

The maximum dollar value between performance and any increase in total shareholder value will be capped at 350% of the grant date value.

The Service-Based Awards and Performance-Based Awards granted in 2015 are described in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table below. In 2015, the Performance-Based Awards that vested in 2015 were for the performance period from 2012-2015 and vested between the target and maximum level for all NEOs. The shares that vested are more particularly detailed in the 2015 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table.

In 2014, when studying our NEOs’ total compensation, it became apparent that despite our strong performance, the equity realized by our NEOs was not consistent with our peers. Therefore, for 2015, we increased our CEO’s long-term incentive opportunity by 10% to 110% of base salary and we increased Messrs. Calabrese’s and Williams’ long-term incentive opportunity by 5% to 80% of base salary.


Name	LTI Plan Opportunity (% of Salary)
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.		110	%
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr.		80	%
John C. Williams, Jr.		80	%
Gary L. Guerrieri		75	%
Robert M. Moorehead		40	%
Barry C. Robinson		40	%

Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson were not Section 16 officers in 2014 or at the time of setting 2015 LTI Plan opportunities; therefore, their LTI Plan opportunities were not set by the Committee.

•

Relation of Long-Term Incentive to other Components of Compensation

Long-term incentive compensation earned by the NEOs is a component of total compensation and is benchmarked against our Company’s Peer Group and survey data provided by our independent compensation consultant. It does not impact any other component of the NEOs’ compensation or benefits. However, the program is designed to increase the NEOs’ overall compensation in alignment with an increase in shareholder value such that achievement of the performance goals will result in increased compensation.

Management Stock Ownership Policy

We maintain a Management Stock Ownership Policy that requires the CEO, the other NEOs and certain senior management who participate in the long-term incentive plan, the 2007 Plan, and any successor plan to have varying levels of stock ownership based upon the officer’s participation level in the plan. The policy requires participants to hold the lesser of a specific share amount or a number of shares equal to a specific dollar threshold that is a multiple of the participant’s salary. We believe that this policy aligns management and shareholder interests and acts as a risk mitigant because our NEOs have a significant long-term stake in our success. Under our policy, acceptable forms of stock ownership include:

•

shares owned individually and by immediate family;

•

long-term stock awards, including all restricted stock and unit awards;

•

shares held in the 401(k) Plan; and

•

vested stock options.

Specific ownership guidelines for the NEOs are as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Share Value	Number of Shares
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.	5 x salary		250,000
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr.	3 x salary		100,000
John C. Williams, Jr.	3 x salary		100,000
Gary L. Guerrieri	3 x salary		100,000
Robert M. Moorehead	3 x salary		100,000
Barry C. Robinson	3 x salary		100,000

We annually review progress toward achieving the ownership guidelines. Our NEOs are required to reach the stock ownership guidelines within five years after the later of any of the following events: commencement of participation in the long-term incentive portion of the 2007 Plan; promotion to a higher participation level; or, our increasing a participant’s ownership requirement. If an NEO does not hold the required share amount after the five-year period, the NEO will receive any future incentive awards as stock, in lieu of cash, that the participant must hold until he or she reaches the applicable required ownership level. All of our NEOs currently meet the required stock ownership levels based on prior policies and are within the time period allotted to achieve the level required under our current stock ownership guidelines.

Supplemental Grants for CEO and CFO

As part of our review of 2015 compensation for the executive officers, we also reviewed historical performance compared to the peers and the competitive position of our CEO and CFO compared to the peer group every year since Mr. Delie became CEO in 2012. In order to account for the growth of the company over that time period, we utilized our smaller 2012 peer group for comparisons of 2012 and 2013 compensation, but used the current peer group for comparisons of 2014 and 2015 compensation.

Our executives drove performance at FNB which compared very favorably to other banks. Over the time period, we achieved rapid asset growth and consistently performed well above our peers across a variety of financial measures. The exhibit below demonstrates how we have grown significantly, but have simultaneously ensured profitability and high returns to shareholders.


	Asset Growth 5 Year			Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROATCE)															TSR 5 Year
	Asset Growth 5 Year			2015Y			2014Y			2013Y			2012Y			2011Y			TSR 5 Year
25th Percentile		25	%		9.77			10.01			9.85			8.21			5.64			20.7
50th Percentile		45	%		10.48			10.75			11.73			12.18			10.54			39.3
75th Percentile		68	%		12.98			12.68			13.05			13.36			13.01			74.5

Percent Rank		83	%		89	%		96	%		97	%		91	%		96	%		73	%

However, in spite of this consistent outperformance, the analysis concluded that the CEO and the CFO were currently, and have been historically, compensated well below management of similarly-sized peers. Despite robust growth and profitability, Mr. Delie was $2.7 million below the 50^th percentile over the four-year period and Mr. Calabrese was $1.4 million below the 50^th percentile.


	CEO Direct Compensation 4-Year Total ($)(1)			CFO Direct Compensation 4-Year Total ($)(1)

Shortfall to 50th		-2,680			-1,401
		-24	%		-30	%

(1)

All dollar amounts are in millions.

This significant misalignment between pay and performance is contrary to the aims of our compensation philosophy to pay our executives in line with our performance. In addition, the analysis concluded that executive ownership of FNB stock as a percent of total shares outstanding was among the lowest in our peer group. The Committee believes that the low levels of equity compensation provided to the officers over the last several years is largely responsible for the lack of ownership by both officers and puts the Company at risk of losing valuable executive talent.


	Beneficial Ownership (As of 6/30/2015)
	CEO			CFO
25th Percentile		0.34	%		0.08	%
50th Percentile		0.56	%		0.11	%
75th Percentile		1.02	%		0.19	%
F.N.B. Corp.		0.10	%		0.05	%
Percent Rank		1	%		14	%

In late 2015, the Compensation Committee considered all of these factors:

The Company’s very strong performance over the last five years;

The consistent historical shortfall relative to market;

The low level of beneficial ownership for the CEO;

Our continued growth, both organically and through the merger with Metro Bancorp;

The lack of current retention incentives caused by the above factors.

To align Mr. Delie’s and Mr. Calabrese’s compensation with our performance over the last several years, provide a retention incentive to our high-performing CEO and CFO, and increase their beneficial ownership in FNB, we have provided additional equity grants to Mr. Delie and Mr. Calabrese. In December 2015, Mr. Delie and Mr. Calabrese received grants of restricted stock worth $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. These awards cliff vest at the end of three years, contingent on FNB’s ROATCE exceeding the 25^th percentile of the peer group in 2018 and continued employment. In the case of a change in control, the awards only accelerate upon a termination in connection with the change in control (“double trigger”). We believe that these conditions constitute a strong incentive for executives to remain with FNB and to work toward the Company’s success.

Retirement and Other Post-Employment Benefits

All employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan (“401(k) Plan”). All salaried employees hired before January 1, 2008, except employees of First National Insurance Agency, LLC (“FNIA”), participated in our defined benefit pension plan, the Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”), through December 31, 2010. At that time, we froze each participant’s accrued benefit amount and ceased future accruals.

•

Why We Pay these Benefits to Executives

In general, we have designed our retirement plans to provide NEOs and other employees with financial security after retirement. We provide matching contributions and an automatic contribution under the 401(k) Plan for all employees, including the NEOs. Previously, we offered a defined benefit pension plan, the RIP. We detail its benefits to employees more particularly in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Pension Benefits table. Additionally, due to Code limits on the amount of compensation that may be recognized for tax-qualified retirement plans, certain NEOs were unable to make the full amount of contributions to the 401(k) Plan and the amount of their total pay that is included in the calculation of their pension benefit is limited. Therefore, we offered the F.N.B. Corporation ERISA Excess Retirement Plan (“Excess Plan”) and continue to offer the F.N.B. Corporation ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan to allow any affected employee, including the NEO’s, to receive the full benefit intended

by the qualified retirement plans. In 2010, we amended these plans consistent with the amendments to the RIP.

In addition to those plans, we previously provided to some senior executives, including Mr. Guerrieri, a supplemental executive retirement plan, called the Basic Retirement Plan (“BRP”), which is designed to supplement the benefits provided by the RIP and the ERISA Excess Retirement Plan. The purpose of the BRP was to insure a minimum level of retirement income for the NEOs and other senior officers who participated in the plan. We closed the BRP to new participants and ceased future accruals for all participants, effective December 31, 2008.

We believe post-retirement compensation is necessary to attract and retain talented executives and that our post-retirement benefits are competitive in the industry and provide NEOs with appropriate retirement benefits.

We provide severance and change in control payments through employment contracts that provide additional security for our NEOs. We determined that the continued retention of the services of our NEOs on a long-term basis fosters stability of senior management through retention of well-qualified officers. The 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables and accompanying narrative detail the NEOs’ employment contracts.

•

How We Determine the Amount to Pay

The RIP benefit is determined by a precise formula set forth in the plan document and explained in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Pension Benefits table. The ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan and ERISA Excess Retirement Plan benefit formulas are based upon the specific opportunity or the amounts lost by the participant due to Code limits and are more fully detailed in the 2015 Pension Benefits table and narrative. The benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to a target benefit percentage based on years of service at retirement and a designated tier as determined by the Committee and detailed in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Pension Benefits table. We do not grant extra years of credited service under any of our qualified or non-qualified plans. The termination and change in control benefits for NEOs were set by contract and are described more fully in the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables and in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Summary Compensation Table.

•

Relation of these Benefits to Other Components of Compensation

Retirement benefits are directly linked to the amount of the NEO’s total pay, which includes base salary and annual incentive compensation. Similarly, while the NEO’s termination benefits are determined under their respective employment agreements, generally, termination benefits are a product of base compensation and in the case of Messrs. Delie, Calabrese and Williams, their annual bonus, if any.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

The NEOs participate in a wide array of benefit plans that are generally available to all employees of the Company, including the RIP⁵ and the 401(k) Plan. Benefits primarily consist of participation in the Company’s defined benefit, defined contribution and health and welfare benefit plans. In addition, some of the NEOs receive perquisites in the form of club membership dues, a company car and other perquisites more particularly detailed as part of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table and accompanying narrative. We provide club membership dues to certain NEOs in order to provide them with the ability to entertain customers, potential customers and various business contacts, which is an integral part of our industry. Similarly, we provide certain NEOs a company car for purposes of appropriate transportation for entertainment of customers, vendors and business

⁵	As noted in the Retirement and Other Post-Employment Benefits section, we closed the RIP to employees hired after December 31, 2007, and froze all benefits for all participants effective December 31, 2010.

contacts and traveling between our facilities. It is the Committee’s policy that it will not include tax gross-ups in any new or amended employment agreements.

Tax and Accounting Treatment of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of one million dollars paid to the CEO and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CFO, unless such compensation qualifies as “performance-based compensation.” We intend for Performance-Based Awards of restricted stock units and annual incentive compensation granted under our 2007 Plan to meet the performance-based compensation exception to the annual one million dollar limitation. However, there can be no assurance that any amounts paid will be deductible under Section 162(m). While we are cognizant of the tax deduction limitations applicable to our compensation program for NEOs, we may set compensation levels or structure arrangements outside the deduction limitations if we deem the amount of compensation appropriate. The Committee has the discretion to establish the compensation paid, or intended to be paid or awarded to the NEOs, as the Committee may determine is in our and our shareholders’ best interest. This is an important feature of our compensation practices because it provides the Committee with sufficient flexibility to respond to specific situations we encounter.

In addition, Section 409A of the Code provides for an additional tax on executives with respect to various features of deferred compensation arrangements. We have made the appropriate changes to our non-qualified retirement plans and employment agreements to help ensure compliance with Code Section 409A and that there are no adverse effects on us or our executive officers as a result of Section 409A. We do not expect these changes to have a material tax or financial effect on us.

As discussed above, we have calculated and discussed with the Committee the tax impact to us and the executives of each of our cash and equity compensation awards and agreements. We also calculate and monitor the accounting expense related to equity-based compensation using the guidance of ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.

2015 Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows the total compensation paid or earned by the Company’s CEO, CFO and the three most highly-paid executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were employed as of December 31, 2015. In addition, the table shows an executive officer who retired during the year. Each of the above is referred to as an NEO and together, NEOs. The amounts include services rendered in all capacities to us and our subsidiaries for our year ended December 31, 2015:

(1)	Payments under the Company’s annual incentive plan for 2015 are reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column instead of in the Bonus column, in accordance with SEC requirements.

(2)

The restricted stock award amounts shown in this table represent the dollar amount of awards granted during the fiscal year determined pursuant to ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note 15 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016. The restricted stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan vest either after (i) the NEO’s continued employment with the Company or one of its affiliates for three years or (ii) the Company’s achievement of performance goals and the NEO’s continued employment with the Company or one of its affiliates for three or four years. Commencing in 2014, similar to our prior grants of Performance-Based Awards, we issued Service-Based Awards in restricted stock units. The restricted stock units earn dividend equivalents, which are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units. The amounts reflected in the table assume that each NEO will perform the requisite service and we will achieve the required performance goals at target levels. The following table provides additional information regarding the Performance-Based Awards granted during 2015. The target amounts have been included in the above table and are reflected below for comparative purposes:


	At Target ($)		At Maximum ($)
Mr. Delie		3,173,642		3,678,869
Mr. Calabrese		1,240,905		1,421,580
Mr. Williams		220,876		386,532
Mr. Guerrieri		182,701		319,727
Mr. Moorehead		70,646		123,631
Mr. Robinson		68,957		120,674

All restricted stock earns cash dividends that are reinvested into additional shares of our common stock under the F.N.B. Corporation Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (“DRP”). These reinvested shares are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock. The amount for Mr. Delie also includes stock awards valued at $44,743 for service as a director in 2015 that vested immediately upon grant. (See the narrative under Executive Directors in the section of this proxy statement discussing Director Compensation.)

(3)	Amount earned by the NEO as an annual incentive bonus under our EIC Plan, based upon the Company’s performance. The EIC Plan is discussed in further detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading Annual Incentive Awards.

(4)

The amounts in this column reflect the actuarial change in the present value of the NEO’s benefit under all of our pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements and include amounts that the NEO may not currently be entitled to receive because such amounts are not vested. Our pension plans are described in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Pension Benefits table. Note that the change in values for Messrs. Delie, Calabrese and Guerrieri was actually a decrease of $5,045, $2,407 and $16,551, respectively. However, based on the SEC’s interpretive guidance, the amount shown in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table should not be less than $0. Therefore, the amount shown above for Messrs. Delie, Calabrese and Guerrieri is $0. We do not pay or provide above-market interest under Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

(5)	Amounts in this column are explained in the 2015 Other Compensation Table and the 2015 Perquisites Table that follow the 2015 Summary Compensation Table.

(6)	Mr. Williams retired from the company, effective September 4, 2015.

(7)	Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson became executive officers in 2015; therefore, we have not reported their 2014 or 2013 compensation.

2015 Other Compensation Table

The following table reflects the items included in the All Other Compensation column of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table shown above.

(1)	This amount reflects Company contributions during the year to the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan as more fully described in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

(2)

The amount reported as “Other” represents consulting fees Mr. Williams received under an Independent Contractor Agreement, dated September 10, 2015, by and between First National Bank of Pennsylvania and Mr. Williams. The amount reported as “Other” for Mr. Moorehead represents a car allowance from the Company.

2015 Perquisites Table(1)

The NEOs receive various perquisites provided by or paid for by us pursuant to our policies or individual agreements with the executive. SEC rules require disclosure of the perquisites and other personal benefits, securities or property for an NEO unless the amount of that type of compensation is less than $10,000 in the aggregate.

The following table reflects the perquisites included in the All Other Compensation column of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table shown above:


Name	Club Dues ($)		Company Provided Automobiles(2) ($)		Financial Planning ($)		Other ($)(3)		Total Perquisites Included in All Other Compensation ($)
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.		19,548		23,882		14,000		2,438		59,868

(1)	The NEOs pay taxes on these perquisites in accordance with applicable sections of the Code.

(2)

The valuation of the company provided automobiles was calculated as our current year depreciation or leasing expense for the automobile plus all costs incurred related to the automobile (including, but not limited to, the cost of insurance, gas, car washes, repairs, registration and inspection fees), less our mileage reimbursement allowance for business miles driven by employees who use their own automobile for business purposes.

(3)	The amount reported as “Other” represents the cost of an executive physical and Company-paid parking fees for Messrs. Delie and Williams; the cost of an executive physical for Mr. Guerrieri, and the cost of Company-paid parking fees for Mr. Moorehead.

The foregoing 2015 Summary Compensation Table and its sub-tables do not include certain fringe benefits generally made available on a non-discriminatory basis to all of our salaried employees such as group health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and long-term disability insurance, which we consider to be ordinary and incidental business costs and expenses.

In 2010, the Committee made a policy decision that we will not provide tax gross-ups in any new or amended employment agreements.

Mr. Delie became CEO in 2012 and entered into his employment agreement with us and FNBPA on December 15, 2010. Mr. Delie’s contract has an initial term of three years and, unless sooner terminated, automatically extends for one year on the anniversary of the commencement date. Either party may terminate the automatic renewal provision by providing the other party with 30 days advance written notice of non-renewal prior to the anniversary of the commencement date. Currently, Mr. Delie’s employment agreement runs through December 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Delie is entitled to receive a base salary that may be increased from time to time as determined by the Committee. Additionally, in 2015, Mr. Delie was eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation plan at a target award level of 80% of his base salary. Thus, he had the possibility of achieving a bonus between 0% and 160% of his base salary. The severance and change in control provisions of Mr. Delie’s employment agreement are described below under 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

Mr. Calabrese serves as our CFO and entered into the employment agreement, the amounts for which are detailed in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table, with FNBPA on February 21, 2013. The initial term of the agreement was for two years, and automatically extends for a one-year period on each anniversary of its commencement date unless sooner terminated. Either party may terminate the automatic renewal of the agreement by providing the other with 60 days advance written notice of non-renewal. Mr. Calabrese’s contract runs through February 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Calabrese receives a base salary that may be increased from time to time as determined by the Committee. Additionally, Mr. Calabrese is eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation and bonus plans at the discretion of the Committee with a target award level of 60% of base salary for 2015. Thus, he had the possibility of achieving a bonus between 0% and 120% of his base salary. The severance and change in control provisions of Mr. Calabrese’s employment agreement are described in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables.

Mr. Williams was the President of FNBPA and entered into an employment agreement with FNBPA on February 21, 2013. The initial term of the agreement was for two years and automatically extended for one year on its anniversary, unless sooner terminated. Mr. Williams retired in September 2015 and thus terminated the agreement. Mr. Williams received a base salary and was eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation and bonus plans at the discretion of the Committee with a target award level of 60% of base salary for 2015. Thus, he had the possibility of achieving a bonus between 0% and 120% of his base salary. The total payments upon termination and 2015 Change in Control Table below shows the benefits Mr. Williams was entitled to at retirement under the contract.

Mr. Guerrieri serves as our Chief Credit Officer. He entered into an employment contract with FNBPA on January 25, 2002. Mr. Guerrieri’s contract had an initial term of two years and automatically extends for a one year period on the anniversary of its commencement date, unless either party terminates the contract sooner. Either party may terminate the automatic renewal of the agreement by providing the other 60 days advance written notice of non-renewal. Mr. Guerrieri’s contract runs through January 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Guerrieri receives a base salary, as reflected in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table that may be increased from time to time as determined by the Committee. Mr. Guerrieri is also eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation and bonus plans at the Committee’s discretion. Mr. Guerrieri’s target award level for annual incentive compensation was 50% of his base salary for 2015. Thus, he has the possibility of achieving a bonus between 0% and 100% of his base salary. The severance and change in control provisions of Mr. Guerrieri’s employment agreement are described in the narrative accompanying the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables. In December 2008, and December 2012, we amended Mr. Guerrieri’s contract in order to ensure compliance with and clarify certain points related to Code Section 409A.

Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson became Section 16 officers in December 2015. Mr. Moorehead is our Chief Wholesale Banking Officer and entered into his current employment agreement on September 10, 2015. Mr. Robinson serves as our Chief Consumer Banking Officer and entered into his current employment agreement on November 4, 2015. The agreements are for an initial term of two years and automatically renew. Under the terms of the contracts, Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson receive base salaries as reflected in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table that may be increased from time to time as determined by the Committee. They are eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation and bonus plans at the Committee’s discretion. Their target award level for annual incentive compensation in 2015 was 40% of base salary with the possibility of achieving between 0% and 80% of base salary. The severance and change-in-control provisions of Messrs. Moorehead and Robinson’s employment agreements are described in the narratives accompanying the 2015 `Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change In Control tables.

2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards

The amounts shown represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts to be earned by the NEO under the annual incentive compensation program based upon our performance during 2015. The amounts actually earned for 2015 were above the target and are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table.

(2)

For awards granted April 1, 2015, the amounts shown represent the threshold, target and maximum unit amounts that could be earned by the NEO under performance-based restricted stock unit awards based upon the Company’s performance during the three-year performance period commencing April 1, 2015, and ending March 31, 2018, provided the NEO remains continuously employed through the April 1, 2018, vesting date. For awards granted December 16, 2015, the amounts shown represent the threshold, target and maximum unit amounts that could be earned by the NEO under performance-based restricted stock unit awards based upon the Company’s performance during the three-year performance period commencing January 1, 2016, and ending December 31, 2018, provided the NEO remains continuously employed through the January 16, 2019, vesting date. As of December 31, 2015, we believe that it is probable that we will achieve the performance conditions between the target and the maximum level for the awards granted April 1, 2015, and at the target level for the awards granted December 16, 2015. If we meet the performance conditions, and the NEO terminates service prior to the vesting date, the program may provide partial vesting depending on the reason for termination as more particularly detailed in the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables. In 2015, the awards were in restricted stock units as more particularly described in the Long-Term Awards Section above.

(3)	The amount shown represents the number of service-based restricted stock units granted April 1, 2015, which will vest if the NEO remains continuously employed until the April 1, 2018, vesting date.

(4)	The amount shown represents the grant date fair value as determined under ASC Topic 718 of all service-based restricted stock unit awards and all performance-based restricted stock unit awards, assuming payout at target levels, granted in 2015.

Participants who terminate service prior to year end are not eligible for annual incentive compensation under the program. In the event of death, disability or retirement (i.e., age 55 with five years of service) during the year or before we make payment of the annual incentive award amount, the Committee may approve a discretionary pro-rata award. The program provides for payment in the case of a change in control as more particularly detailed in the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables.

We issue service-based and performance-based awards in the form of restricted stock units that earn dividend equivalents that are subject to the same restrictions and vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units. The program allows for accelerated or pro-rated vesting of the restricted stock units in the case of death, disability, retirement, or change in control as more particularly detailed in the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables.

There are 2,062,471 shares remaining available for awards under the 2007 Plan, which represent 1.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

(1)	All awards were made under the 2007 Plan.

(2)

Options may be granted under the 2007 Plan with up to a ten-year expiration date and with a strike price of no less than 100% of the closing sales price of our common stock on the NYSE on the business day preceding the award date. Options cannot be transferred or assigned by a participant under the 2007 Plan, other than by will or pursuant to the laws of succession. We have not issued stock options for any year reported in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table.

(3)

Stock Awards are shares of common stock awarded under the 2007 Plan subject to a restriction period and/or satisfaction of one or more performance-based criteria, as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a participant terminates employment with us or our subsidiaries for a reason other than retirement, disability, death or change in control, as detailed in the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables, before the expiration of the applicable restriction period, the participant will forfeit any restricted shares or units that are still subject to a restriction. When restricted stock or units vest, the participant recognizes ordinary income on the then market value of the shares, and we receive a tax deduction in that same amount.

(4)

Restricted stock units in this column consist of all service-based restricted shares outstanding and performance-based restricted stock units that will vest if the NEO remains employed on the vesting date because we already have met the performance thresholds. These restricted stock units and shares, as applicable, vested or are scheduled to vest as follows:

(3)	Our pension plans do not provide credit for additional years of service to any of the NEOs.

(4)

For the RIP, the Excess Plan and the BRP, the present value of accumulated benefits reflected above was determined using the same assumptions as used for the December 31, 2015, financial statement disclosures, except assuming retirement at the normal retirement age of 65. We have assumed a discount rate of 4.25% for the RIP and 3.80% for the BRP and the Excess Plan. For post-retirement mortality, we are using the 2007 base rates from RP-2014 projected linearly to 2017 to a long-term improvement of 0.8% (grading down linearly to 0.0% from ages 85 to 95).

The following is a summary of our qualified and non-qualified plans mentioned in the 2015 Pension Benefits table:

Retirement Income Plan

Until 2008, the RIP, a traditional defined benefit plan qualified under the Code and subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), was available to all salaried employees, except FNIA employees. In 2007, we closed the RIP to employees who commenced employment with us or our affiliates on or after January 1, 2008, and in 2010, we froze the plan and we have not made accruals for participants after December 31, 2010. The RIP provides for benefit payments in the form of a lifetime annuity with five years guaranteed and provides the participant with the ability to select from several choices for the form of the annuity. The election that the participant chooses may affect the amount of the annual benefit as reflected in the 2015 Pension Benefits table. Effective January 1, 2007, we amended the plan such that the benefit is calculated in two pieces. First, for the period worked by a participant prior to January 1, 2007, (“Pre-2007 Benefit”) the annual annuity benefit is payable without reduction to participants with five years of service who retire after age 62 and is calculated by multiplying each participant’s final average base salary by 1.2% plus, if appropriate, 0.5% of the participant’s final average base salary that is in excess of covered compensation (as defined in Section 401(1)(5)(E) of the Code), with the sum being multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service, not to exceed 25 years including service through December 31, 2006. A participant’s final average base salary is calculated using the highest 60 consecutive months of base salary, not including incentive compensation, within the last 120 months of the participant’s service with us or our affiliates prior to January 1,

2007. The Pre-2007 Benefit was frozen as of December 31, 2006. Beginning in 2007, we calculated each participant’s benefit by adding the Pre-2007 Benefit to the benefit determined under the post-2007 formula detailed below. For 2007 through 2010 (“Post-2007 Benefit”), we calculated each participant’s annual retirement benefit by taking the participant’s total pay earned from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2010, and multiplying it by 1%. The benefit earned after 2007 is payable without reduction to participants who retire on or after age 65. The RIP provides for cliff vesting after five years of employment. The RIP provides for an early commencement reduction factor that decreases as the participant’s age approaches the normal retirement age of 62 for the Pre-2007 Benefit and 65 for the Post-2007 Benefit. The early reduction factor is multiplied by the participant’s benefit as determined by the RIP to arrive at the reduced benefit.

ERISA Excess Retirement Plan

The Excess Plan is a non-qualified plan under ERISA and was available to all participants of the RIP until December 31, 2010, when we ceased all future accruals. The Excess Plan provides retirement benefits equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit allowable under the Code and the amount that would be provided under the RIP formula if the Code did not impose limits on the amount of compensation included for purposes of calculating a qualified plan benefit. The Excess Plan provides the full amount of benefit that would have been paid under the formula of the RIP but for the Code limits, reduced by the amount of benefit that is actually provided by the RIP. The participant’s rights to benefits under the Excess Plan cliff vest at 100% if the participant terminates service due to death, after a “change in control” (as defined in the Excess Plan), or upon retirement on or after reaching age 55 with five years of service. Benefits are payable either in an annuity or a lump sum depending upon the reason for termination, with payments commencing the first day of the month following six months after the participant separates from service.

Basic Retirement Plan

The BRP is a separate supplemental executive retirement benefit plan, currently only applicable to Mr. Guerrieri. Effective December 31, 2008, we amended the BRP such that there will not be any new participants in the plan and no additional accruals for existing participants. Officers participating in the BRP receive a benefit based on a target benefit percentage that is based on the officer’s years of service at retirement. The target percentages are based upon the tier assigned to the participant by the Committee. The tier percentages are as follows: Tier 1, 3.00% for each of the first ten years of employment, plus 1.50% for each of the next ten years of employment, plus 0.75% for each of the next ten years of employment; Tier 2, 3.50% for each of the first ten years of employment, plus 2.00% for each of the next ten years of employment, plus 0.75% for each of the next ten years of employment.

When a participant retires, the benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to the participant’s aggregate target benefit percentage multiplied by the participant’s highest average monthly cash compensation including bonuses during five consecutive calendar years within the last ten calendar years of employment before 2009. This monthly benefit is reduced by the monthly benefit the participant receives from the Social Security Administration, the RIP, the Excess Plan, and the annuity equivalent of the automatic contributions paid to participants under the 401(k) and Lost Match Plans.

The participant’s rights to benefits under the BRP vest at 100% if the participant terminates service due to death, disability, after a “change in control” (as defined in the BRP), or normal retirement (age 65). The BRP contains a provision for reducing the basic benefit if the participant retires prior to normal retirement but on or after early retirement (age 55 with five years of service). A participant forfeits benefits in the event we terminate the participant’s employment for cause or a participant voluntarily terminates employment prior to early retirement.

2015 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

The following table contains information concerning the non-qualified deferred compensation plan account balances for each NEO for 2015. All contributions are under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan as described below.


Name	Executive Contributions in Last FY ($)		Company Contributions in Last FY ($)(1)		Aggregate Earnings in Last FY ($)(2)		Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($)		Aggregate Balance at Last FYE ($)(3)
Vincent J. Delie, Jr.		0		116,533		2,883		0		330,371
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr.		0		35,587		884		0		104,909
John C. Williams, Jr.		0		27,090		827		0		92,414
Gary L. Guerrieri		0		26,264		686		0		81,541
Robert M. Moorehead		0		14,717		282		0		36,767
Barry C. Robinson		0		9,290		295		0		35,616

(1)	Note that the amount of our contributions is also included in the All Other Compensation column of the 2015 Summary Compensation Table. These contributions are not in addition to the amount reported there.

(2)	This plan does not provide for above-market interest.

(3)

Our contributions during each fiscal year have historically been reported in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table for each year in which the NEO was considered such, and aggregate earnings during the fiscal year have been historically excluded from the 2015 Summary Compensation Table. Additionally, the amounts reflected represent the NEO’s entire balance under this plan which is fully vested.

The amounts reflected in the 2015 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table were contributed to accounts for the NEOs under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan. The ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan provides for Company contributions, equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit allowable under the Code and the amount that would be provided under the 401(k) Plan if the IRS did not impose contribution or pay limitations. Under the ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan, the amount credited to the participant’s account accrues interest at the rate set by FNBPA as its highest interest rate on the first day of the year on the longest term IRA account that it offers. The benefit is then paid as a single lump sum on the first of the month following six months after the participant terminates employment.

We also maintain a deferred compensation plan known as the F.N.B. Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Committee may select a group of management employees to participate in the plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides participants the ability to defer into the plan a portion of his or her annual cash compensation, including 50% of base salary and 100% of any annual incentive compensation he or she would otherwise receive to help postpone and minimize taxes while accumulating capital on a pre-tax basis until termination of employment. A participant may elect to defer his or her compensation into a fixed interest rate option, with the interest rate determined by the Committee. Currently, there are no participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our current NEOs are each a party to an employment agreement that provides for certain salary and benefits upon termination of employment under various scenarios. The agreements are all described more fully in the narrative and tables below. The tables below set forth the estimated current value of benefits that could be paid to each of our NEOs upon various termination events. The actual amounts paid upon any of these termination events will only be known at the time that the benefits become payable. The tables reflect the amounts that could be payable under the various arrangements if the event in question occurred as of December 31, 2015. The NEOs’ employment agreements do not provide for any additional payments or benefits in the event of a voluntary termination of employment by the executive without good reason or an involuntary termination by us for cause. Under those scenarios, the NEOs are only entitled to their accrued and unpaid obligations, such as

salary, unused vacation, and vested benefits. The following tables contain common information about our qualified and non-qualified plans and policies, as well as assumptions used by us in arriving at the amounts contained in the tables. To the extent the information is common it is contained in the endnotes to the 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control tables and is indicated by letters.

(1)

In the event that we terminate Mr. Delie’s employment without cause, or if he terminates his employment for good reason, he is entitled to base salary continuation and a bonus payment for three years. In the event of a change in control resulting in his termination, he is entitled to three times his base salary plus a bonus amount payable immediately as a lump sum. The bonus amount is calculated by taking the average of the annual amounts paid, whether paid in cash, company stock or other form, to Mr. Delie as a bonus for the last three completed fiscal years. In the event of disability, he is entitled to the amount set forth in our Officers’ Disability salary continuation program. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Delie is not entitled to any additional amounts.

(2)	Based on Mr. Delie’s age and length of service, he is not eligible for retirement; therefore, in the case of retirement, no benefit is immediately payable.

(3)

In the event that we terminate Mr. Delie’s employment without cause, or if he terminates his employment for good reason, he is entitled to continue to participate in our group health plan on the same terms and at the same cost as active employees for 36 months or until he first becomes eligible for coverage under any group health plan of another employer. In the case of termination for any other reason, Mr. Delie is not entitled to any additional amounts.

(4)	Mr. Delie is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan.

(5)	Based on Mr. Delie’s age and length of service, he is 0% vested in his benefit under this plan, but will become 100% vested in this plan in the event of death, disability or upon a change in control.

(6)

Mr. Delie is 100% vested in his benefit under this plan. The amounts reflected represent the cash value of Mr. Delie’s account balance under this plan as of December 31, 2015. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Delie is entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of his entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from his termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination, no benefit is immediately payable.

Mr. Delie’s employment agreement does not provide for any additional benefits, other than the payment of accrued and unpaid obligations existing at the time of a voluntary termination of employment by Mr. Delie without good reason or by us for cause. Mr. Delie’s agreement allows him to terminate the agreement for good reason and obtain the same termination benefits as if he was terminated by the Company for a reason other than cause. Under the terms of his agreement, good reason exists if Mr. Delie experiences any of the following: reduction in base salary, unless the reduction is less than 10% and part of an overall reduction; a material diminution in compensation and benefits unless part of an overall reduction; a material diminution of his authority, duties and responsibilities; a change of material duties that are inconsistent with the position; a material diminution of the budget over which he maintains control; relocation of his office more than 50 miles from both Pittsburgh and Hermitage, Pennsylvania; or there occurs material diminution of the duties of his supervisor or a material breach of the agreement by us. Mr. Delie’s contract does not provide a gross-up under Section 280G of the Code.

For purposes of Mr. Delie’s and all other NEO’s employment agreements, “change in control” means any merger or consolidation with another corporation, and as a result of such merger or consolidation, our shareholders as of the day preceding such transaction will own less than 51% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation, or in the event that there is (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) a sale or exchange of 80% or more of our common stock for securities of another entity in which our shareholders will own less than 51% of such entity’s outstanding voting securities, or in the event of the sale of a substantial portion of our assets (including the capital stock we own in our subsidiaries) to an unrelated third party.

Upon termination of employment for any reason, Mr. Robinson is entitled to receive a lump sum distribution of his entire account balance under this plan on the first of the month following six months from his termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination, no benefit is immediately payable.

Messrs. Calabrese, Williams, Guerrieri, Moorehead and Robinson’s contracts do not provide for any additional benefits other than payment of accrued and unpaid obligations existing at the time of a voluntary termination of employment or by the Company for cause. Additionally, none of the NEOs are entitled to any type of gross-up under Section 280G of the Code. “Change in control” has the same definition as noted for Mr. Delie.

Endnotes to All 2015 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Tables

(a) The amounts reflected in the Executive Incentive Compensation row represent the payout earned under the annual incentive portion of the 2007 Plan. We make the payout in a lump sum 60 days after the end of the year provided the participant is still employed by us on December 31st. For purposes of this table, in the event of death, disability or retirement, the Committee may approve a pro-rated award. The amount in the table is based on the assumption that the Committee would approve the award. Since the table assumes termination of employment as of December 31, 2015, pro-ration is not necessary. In the case of a change in control, the participant is entitled to receive a pro-rated award based on the date of termination not less than his targeted award. Therefore, the amount shown in the case of a change in control is based on the amount the NEO earned for 2015, not the NEO’s targeted award. In the event we terminate any of the NEOs with cause, we do not owe the NEO any additional amount.

(b) The amounts reflected represent the taxable income realized by the NEOs under each potential termination scenario based on the terms of the 2007 Plan. Under the 2007 Plan, both service-based and performance-based outstanding restricted stock awards, excluding the supplemental performance-based awards granted in December 2015, will become 100% vested at target levels in the event of the death of the participant or upon a change in control. Under the 2007 Plan, a change in control occurs when there is a merger or other consolidation which results in a 50% or greater change in the ownership of the common stock of the resulting company. In the event a current NEO becomes disabled or terminates employment due to normal retirement, all service-based restricted stock awards, excluding the discretionary awards granted in December 2012, will become 100% vested, except that if the NEO retires in the same calendar year as we granted the award, the number of shares that shall vest will be pro-rated for the period worked. If an NEO terminates employment due to early retirement, all service-based awards of restricted stock, excluding the discretionary award granted in December 2012, will be pro-rated for the period worked. In the event an NEO terminates employment due to retirement or disability and we achieve the performance objectives, the performance-based shares, excluding the supplemental performance-based awards granted in December 2015, will vest on the vesting date except, that in the case of disability or early retirement and retirement in the calendar year that we granted the awards, the shares will vest on the vesting date in a pro-rated amount based on the period worked. The supplemental

performance-based awards granted in December 2015 will become 100% vested at target levels in the event of death of the participant or upon termination without cause or the participant terminates for good reason within two years of a change in control. If an NEO terminates employment due to early retirement or disability and we achieve the performance objectives, the supplemental performance-based awards granted in December 2015 will vest on the vesting date in a pro-rata amount based on the period worked.

For purposes of these tables, we have assumed that the performance-based shares for the awards granted in 2012, 2014 and April 2015 will vest between the target and maximum levels; the awards granted in 2013 will vest between the threshold and target levels; and, the awards granted in December 2015 will vest at the target levels, in the case of disability or retirement. The NEOs will forfeit all unvested awards if we terminate them without cause or if they terminate their employment for any other reason.

(c) Upon termination for any reason, the NEOs are entitled to an immediate lump sum payment of earned but unused vacation days. In the case of a Change in Control – No Termination, the NEOs would still be employed and would therefore be entitled to carry over the earned but unused vacation days for use in 2016.

(d) The amounts reflected represent the dollar amount of our matching and Company contributions into the 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2015. Distributions from the 401(k) Plan are in the form of a single lump sum payment and are made as soon as administratively possible after termination of employment. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination, the NEO would still be employed, thus no benefit is immediately payable.

(e) The present values reflected above for the RIP were determined using the following assumptions: benefit payments paid as a monthly annuity commencing at age 65, except in the case of disability where payments would commence at age 65 once long-term disability benefits cease; an interest rate of 4.25%; no pre-retirement mortality; and for post-retirement mortality, the 2007 base rates from RP-2014 projected linearly to 2017 to a long-term improvement of 0.8% (grading down linearly to 0.0% from ages 85 to 95). The present values for Retirement, Change in Control – Termination, Good Reason or Involuntary Not for Cause Termination, and Disability were calculated based on a five-year certain and continuous annuity option. The present value for Death was calculated based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity option and assumes that the NEO and his spouse are the same age. In addition, the death benefit is assumed to commence immediately if the NEO is over age 55 or otherwise at age 55. In the case of a change in control that does not result in termination, no benefit is immediately payable. Note that we have shown the present value of the benefit available for consistency with the 2015 Pension Benefits Table. However, the participant is only entitled to a lump sum distribution if the lump sum benefit under the RIP is less than $60,000.

(f) The present values reflected above for the Excess Plan and BRP were determined using the following assumptions: benefit payment paid as a monthly annuity commencing at age 65, except in the case of disability where payments would commence at age 65 once long-term disability benefits cease, and in the case of termination following a change in control where the payment would be in the form of an immediate lump sum; an interest rate of 3.80% for annuity payments and the IRS mandated segment rates for distributions in 2016 for the lump sum payment triggered due to Change in Control – Termination; no pre-retirement mortality; and for post-retirement mortality, the 2007 base rates from RP-2014 projected linearly to 2017 to a long-term improvement of 0.8% (grading down linearly to 0.0% from ages 85 to 95) for annuity payments and the IRS mandated mortality for the lump sum payment due upon Change in Control – Termination. The present values for Retirement, Involuntary Not for Cause Termination, and Disability were calculated based on a five-year certain and continuous annuity option. The present value for Death was calculated based on a 100% joint and survivor annuity option and assumes that the NEO and his spouse are the same age. In addition, the death benefit is assumed to commence immediately if the NEO is over age 55 or, if the NEO is under age 55, the benefit is assumed to commence when the NEO reaches age 55. Note that we have shown the present value of the benefit available for consistency with the 2015 Pension Benefits table. The participant is not entitled to a lump sum payment unless there is a change in control. See the 2015 Pension Benefits Table and accompanying narrative for more information about the pension benefits under this plan.

Compensation Risk Assessment

We conducted a risk assessment of our compensation programs for the purpose of determining inherent risks in the overall compensation program. Our Chief Risk Officer conducted the assessment with the assistance of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Services and the Compensation and Benefits Accounting Manager, and reviewed the risk assessment with our compensation consultant. Our Chief Risk Officer reviewed each compensation plan to identify any plan features that could lead an employee to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten our value. He conducted a business unit review and a review of employee incentive plans and executive incentive plans, including company-wide benefit plans. He used a decision tree analysis to determine if the business unit compensation practices or the compensation plans fostered risk-taking and if so, conducted further analysis to determine if there were compensating controls or mitigants to limit the risk. Our review of the executive incentive plans considered design features including: pay profiles, performance metrics, performance goals, payout curves, equity incentives, stock ownership requirements, performance appraisal management, and our recoupment policy. Our Chief Risk Officer reviewed the executive incentive plans for design features that may have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Specifically, he reviewed the compensation program for the following features, among others: pay profiles that provide for low salaries and high annual incentives; the use of performance metrics that do not benefit the Company over the long term; plan goals and payouts that did not consider the impact of decisions; steep payout curves where a very high threshold level of performance is required to achieve a threshold level of incentive payout; and an over emphasis on the use of long-term incentives paid in cash.

Similarly, in the review of employee compensation plans, our Chief Risk Officer used a decision tree analysis that considered whether each plan was incentive based, and if so, whether the incentive was material relative to the participant’s total compensation. If the incentive was material, he further reviewed the plan to determine if the plan appeared to foster risk-taking. If the plan fostered risk-taking, he evaluated the plan to determine whether there were compensating controls or mitigants to limit our risk.

Finally, in the business unit compensation review, our Chief Risk Officer assessed whether the business unit generated a materially higher level of risk to us by considering various factors about the plans within each business unit. The factors he considered, among others, included: whether the business unit carried a significant portion of our risk profile; the business unit compensation structure and whether it was different from our other units; the business units’ profitability; whether the employees in the business unit were awarded a short-term bonus while income and risk to us extended over a significantly longer period of time; and whether the compensation expenses comprise a significant percentage of the business unit revenues.

We noted a number of compensation design features that we believe reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking. In our compensation programs applicable to our NEOs, the Committee has downward discretion over incentive program payouts; the program provides a balanced mix of cash and equity, and short-term and long-term incentives, includes multiple meaningful performance metrics, and we maintain a Recoupment Policy that provides for a clawback of payouts under certain circumstances. The employee plans include performance indicators designed to measure quality control standards, compliance results and asset quality. Based upon the risk assessment presented to the Committee, we believe our employee compensation policies and procedures do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking and the level of risk resulting from our compensation policies and procedures is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

2015 Director Compensation

The following table shows the compensation paid to our directors for services rendered in all capacities during 2015. Mr. Delie is not included as his compensation as a director is disclosed in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Mencini and Mr. Nalbandian are also not included as they joined the Board of the Company on January 1, 2016, and March 1, 2016, respectively. They currently receive compensation as non-employee directors in accordance with the Company’s and FNBPA’s non-employee director compensation practices and plans described herein.

(A)

The amount reflected for Mr. Campbell includes the fee for his service as Lead Director of the Board.

(B)

The amount reflected for Mr. Gurgovits is for service as Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee. The amounts reflected for all other directors are for service as Committee Chairman.

(2)

Annually each director is awarded shares of our common stock. Awards granted were valued at $40,000 rounded up or down to the nearest 100 shares at a price determined in accordance with the 2007 Plan. The shares were issued on May 20, 2015, after our Annual Meeting, with a fair market value of $13.71 per share. Additionally, each director who completes a relevant educational program during the preceding calendar year is awarded $5,000 of our common stock, rounded up or down to the nearest 10 shares at a price determined in accordance with the 2007 Plan. These shares were issued on May 20, 2015, after our Annual Meeting, with a fair market value of $13.71 per share, except for Mr. Rose, whose shares were issued on June 18, 2015, with a fair market value of $13.97 per share. Mr. Hormell and Ms. Nicholas were elected as directors effective January 1, 2015. At that time, the Company awarded them 1,300 shares each, which represents a pro-rated amount of the $40,000 annual award based on the length of time remaining in the prior award period, with a fair market value of $13.32 per share. Prior to their appointment as directors of the Company, they served on the FNBPA board for several years through October 2014, at which time, a reorganization of the FNBPA board of directors occurred. In October 2014, they each received a restricted stock award which vests over a three-year period. Therefore, their 2015 annual stock award, received in May 2015, was reduced by the value of this restricted stock award. See “Annual Grant of Stock Awards” for stock awards to directors that remained outstanding at December 31, 2015.

(3)

Mr. Gurgovits is entitled to pension benefits under the RIP, the Excess Plan and the BRP. During 2015, he received $89,184 from the RIP; $123,744 from the Excess Plan and $312,528 from the BRP. Mr. Gurgovits also has a Deferred Compensation Agreement with FNBPA. The present value of the accumulated benefit under that agreement is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, assuming an interest rate of 3.90% and assuming that payments commenced on January 1, 2014, and will continue for nine and one-half years. During 2015, Mr. Gurgovits received $43,262 under this agreement. The present value in the amount of $281,840 is reflected as an accrued liability in the financial statements of FNBPA as of December 31, 2015.

(4)

This column reflects fees earned as a director of FNBPA. Directors of FNBPA do not receive a separate fee for attending FNBPA Board meetings; however, they receive $300 for attending committee meetings, or $125 if participating by phone, for committee meetings that are not held jointly with the Company’s committee meetings.

(5)	The valuation of all perquisites is at our actual cost. SEC rules require disclosure of the perquisites to any one director unless the amount of perquisites is less than $10,000 in the aggregate. There were no perquisites required to be disclosed for 2015.

(6)

Mr. Gurgovits earned $7,000 for fees earned as a director of FNBPA. The remaining amount of All Other Compensation was earned under the terms of his Consulting Agreement, under which Mr. Gurgovits agreed to perform assignments and projects upon which we and FNBPA along with Mr. Gurgovits mutually agreed. The Consulting Agreement specified that we and FNBPA would pay Mr. Gurgovits an annual consulting fee of $573,588. Moreover, the Consulting Agreement provided that Mr. Gurgovits was entitled to certain benefits, including automobile expenses, club dues and related benefits. Upon termination of the Consulting Agreement other than for “cause,” death or good reason, as those terms are defined in the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Gurgovits would be entitled to receive his annual fee for the remainder of the term of the Consulting Agreement. Effective March 31, 2014, the Company and Mr. Gurgovits mutually agreed to terminate the Consulting Agreement. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has accrued $455,513 for the remaining payments due to Mr. Gurgovits in settlement of his Consulting Agreement, which will be paid to Mr. Gurgovits in monthly installments of $39,161.74 through December 31, 2016. Additionally, during 2015, Mr. Gurgovits acquired 51,616 shares of Company stock upon vesting of restricted stock, with a realized value on the vesting date of $662,236.

(7)	Messrs. Goldstein and Rose did not stand for re-election to our board at our May 20, 2015, Annual Meeting.

Executive Director

The Company’s Executive Director, Mr. Delie, received compensation for his position with the Company. Such compensation is disclosed in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table. Executive directors are entitled to receive an annual common stock award valued at $40,000 rounded up or down to the nearest 100 shares at a price determined in accordance with the 2007 Plan. As such, we awarded shares to Mr. Delie in May 2015 at the same time that we made the stock awards to all other directors. Additionally, Executive Directors who complete a relevant educational program during the preceding calendar year are awarded $5,000 of our common stock, rounded up or down to the nearest 10 shares at a price determined in accordance with the 2007 Plan. As such, we awarded shares to Mr. Delie on May 27, 2015, with a fair market value of $13.47 per share. These stock awards are also reflected in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Board/Committee Retainer Fees

We pay our annual director and committee meeting fees on a retainer basis. We annualize the fees and pay them monthly. The annual Board and committee fees are as follows:


	Member Fee ($)		Chairman Fee ($)
Board(1)		50,000		33,750
Audit Committee(2)		7,500		20,000
Compensation Committee(2)		7,500		15,000
Executive Committee(2)		7,500		10,000
Nominating Committee(2)		3,500		7,500
Risk Committee(2)		7,500		15,000

(1)	The Lead Director is entitled to an additional fee of $16,000 per year.

(2)	Committee chairmen do not receive a member fee in addition to the chairman’s fee.

For information regarding the number of full Board and committee meetings held during 2015, see the section titled “Our Board of Directors and Its Committees.” We reimbursed various directors for amounts the directors expended in traveling to our meetings and determined these amounts were consistent with our guidelines and thus are not included in the 2015 Director Compensation table.

Annual Grant of Stock Awards

We awarded each director shares of stock under the Company’s 2007 Plan as detailed in the 2015 Director Compensation table and the Executive Director disclosure above. The stock awarded vested immediately without any restrictions. The following table is a detailed accounting of equity incentive awards outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The amount reflected for Mr. McCarthy was awarded for his service as an employee, under a stock option plan of a predecessor entity acquired by us. The amounts reflected for Mr. Hormell and Ms. Nicholas were awarded for their service as former FNBPA directors.


Name	Options Outstanding (#)		Stock Awards (#)(1)
Robert A. Hormell		0		1,465
Robert J. McCarthy, Jr.		39,204		0
Heidi A. Nicholas		0		1,465

(1)	The amounts reported for Mr. Hormell and Ms. Nicholas were calculated consistent with the assumptions used for amounts reported for the NEOs in the 2015 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table. Their amounts represent units which are deemed to be earned but have not vested.

Proposal 2.

Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), we are asking shareholders to adopt an advisory resolution approving our executive compensation for our NEOs as reported in this proxy statement.

We have designed our executive compensation programs to support our long-term success. We believe that our performance-based executive compensation programs provide incentives that are aligned with the best interests of our shareholders and have helped to drive our performance.

In the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we describe in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives. Please read it in conjunction with the 2015 Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative that provide detailed information on the compensation of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures as set forth in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our NEOs reported in this proxy statement has supported and contributed to our success.

Why You Should Approve Our Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain executive talent and emphasizes pay for performance, primarily through the creation of shareholder value. Our compensation program includes base salary, short-term annual incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation, retirement benefits and perquisites.

We believe our compensation programs and policies are appropriate and effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals, and are strongly aligned with long-term shareholder interests and worthy of continued shareholder support.

We believe the shareholders should consider the following information in determining whether to approve this proposal:

The Compensation Program is Highly Aligned with Shareholder Value

A significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is directly linked to our performance and the creation of shareholder value because a significant portion of the direct and total compensation is in the form of incentive compensation, including annual incentive compensation and a significant long-term incentive award. Our long-term awards are in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units and divided into a time vested portion and a performance portion. The performance portion, which is two-thirds of the overall award, only vests at the conclusion of three years if all performance measures are met. We believe these long-term awards motivate our executives to achieve long-term performance and reward them for increases in total shareholder return. Furthermore, we do not award stock options, and only the Compensation Committee may approve equity grants.

Summary of Key Compensation Practices

We seek to align our compensation programs and practices with evolving governance best practices. The Compensation Committee has followed best practices with respect to executive compensation including the following:

•

We target base compensation at peer median and structure our compensation plans to increase compensation when our performance under various measures, including total shareholder return, is better than peers;

•

Elimination of our supplemental executive retirement plan effective December 31, 2008;

•

No tax gross-up payments for executive perquisites;

•

The Compensation Committee has adopted a policy that it will not approve any employment contracts that contain a tax gross-up;

•

None of our most recent employment contracts provide for a single trigger parachute payment;

•

No severance payments for “cause” terminations or resignations other than for good reason;

•

No extraordinary relocation benefits;

•

The short-term incentive plan contains maximum limits;

•

We do not grant stock options or allow the re-pricing or exchange of stock options;

•

Only the Compensation Committee may authorize equity grants;

•

No payment of dividends on unvested restricted stock or units;

•

Stock ownership guidelines are in place for our executive officers and directors;

•

We conduct an annual robust risk assessment of all of our compensation programs, including the executive annual incentive program and long-term incentive program;

•

We maintain a compensation recoupment or “clawback” policy; and

•

We maintain a prohibition on executive officers and directors engaging in hedging transactions using Company common stock or common stock equivalents.

Our Compensation Program Has Appropriate Long-Term Orientation

Our compensation programs and policies have a long-term focus:

•

We encourage our executives to maintain a long-term focus by using a three-year performance period and vesting schedule for long-term Performance-Based Awards and Service-Based Awards;

•

Our long-term incentive plan is based upon total shareholder return; and

•

We have robust stock ownership requirements for executive officers and directors to insure that our executive officers and directors have a substantial personal stake in our long-term success.

Our Compensation Committee Stays Current on Best Practices

We regularly update our Compensation Committee on compensation best practices and trends. In addition, the Compensation Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide advice on compensation trends and market information to assist the Compensation Committee in designing our compensation programs and making compensation decisions.

The Compensation Committee directly engaged an independent compensation consultant that reported directly to the Compensation Committee, had no prior relationship with our CEO or any other NEO. Our directors are elected annually and meet without management present as a Compensation Committee and Board when necessary. The Compensation Committee maintains a charter and reviews its provisions annually. All committee charters and our Code of Conduct are posted on our website.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are asking shareholders to adopt an advisory resolution approving our executive compensation for NEOs, as reported in this Proxy Statement.

We submitted an advisory resolution to approve 2014 executive compensation to our shareholders at our 2015 Annual Meeting. Shareholders owning more than 97% of the shares for which votes were cast regarding the advisory resolution on executive compensation approved the compensation of our NEOs as stated in our 2015 proxy statement. Additionally, at our 2011 Annual Meeting, our shareholders supported an annual advisory vote frequency and as a result, the Committee and the Board are again submitting for the vote of shareholders an advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our NEOs, and will include this shareholder advisory vote annually until we receive the shareholder vote at our 2017 Annual Meeting on how frequently we conduct a “say-on-pay” vote.

Following the last shareholder vote on executive compensation, the Committee considered the results of the advisory vote in determining compensation policies and decisions. The advisory vote reaffirms our pay-for-performance philosophy and the Committee will continue to use this philosophy and past practices in determining future compensation decisions.

We are asking shareholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2016 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of F.N.B. Corporation (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers listed in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table included in the proxy statement for this meeting, as such compensation is disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in this proxy statement under the Section entitled “Executive Compensation and Other Proxy Disclosure,” including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables and other narrative and other executive compensation disclosures set forth under that section.”

This advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, gives shareholders another mechanism to convey their views about our compensation programs and policies. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation programs. The Board has determined to provide shareholders with an annual advisory vote on executive compensation at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, the next annual advisory vote on executive compensation will be provided at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2017.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2 TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (PROPOSAL 2 ON THE PROXY CARD).

Proposal 3.

Proposal to Ratify the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ending December 31, 2016, to report on our internal controls and our consolidated statement of financial position and related statements of income of us and our subsidiaries, and to perform such other appropriate accounting services as our Board may require. Ernst & Young LLP has advised us that they are independent accountants with respect to us, within the meaning of standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Independence Standards Board and federal securities laws administered by the SEC. In the event a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, we anticipate that we would make no change in our independent registered public accounting firm for the current year because of the difficulty and expense of making any change so long after the beginning of the current year, but that vote would be considered when we consider the appointment of auditors for 2016.

Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2015. We expect that a representative of Ernst & Young LLP will attend our Annual Meeting, be available to respond to appropriate questions and, if the representative desires, which we do not anticipate, make a statement.

The discussion under the caption “Audit and Non-Audit Fees” describes the aggregate fees for professional services provided by Ernst & Young LLP to us for the calendar years 2014 and 2015.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3 THE RATIFICATION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2016 (PROPOSAL 3 ON THE PROXY CARD).

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

To Our Shareholders:

The Audit Committee (“Committee”) oversees the Corporation’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Committee reviewed and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, the matters we and Ernst & Young LLP must discuss pursuant to Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including Ernst & Young LLP’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Corporation’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under generally accepted auditing standards.

The Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence from management and the Corporation, including the matters in the required written disclosures. The Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining its independence.

The Committee discussed with the Corporation’s internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Respectfully submitted,

D. Stephen Martz, Chairman

David J. Malone

Frank C. Mencini

John S. Stanik

William J. Strimbu

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT FEES

Ernst & Young LLP served as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company has been advised by such firm that none of its members or any of its associates has any direct financial interest or material indirect financial interest in the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

Fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for professional services during 2015 and 2014 were as follows:


	Audit		Audit-Related		Tax		All Other
2015	$	1,318,228	$	0	$	193,764	$	1,995
2014	$	1,452,765	$	0	$	202,645	$	1,995

Audit Fees relate to the audit of the Corporation’s annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, review of the financial statements included in the Corporation’s Reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and other SEC filings, services provided in connection with regulatory filings including registration statements filed with the SEC, and accounting consultations related to the audit.

Audit-Related Fees relate to merger and acquisition consultation services.

Tax Fees relate to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice services.

All Other Fees relate to subscriptions for Ernst & Young’s web-based accounting and auditing research library.

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

The Audit Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services the independent registered public accounting firm will perform in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services that the independent registered public accounting firm may provide. The Audit Committee will revise the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management, but may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom the Audit Committee delegates such authority must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee annually establishes pre-approval fee levels for all services the independent registered public accounting firm may provide. Any proposed services exceeding these levels require specific pre-approval.

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the pre-approval of the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for other audit services, including statutory audits or financial audits for our subsidiaries or our affiliates and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.

Our Audit Committee must also pre-approve audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, due diligence services pertaining to potential business acquisitions/dispositions, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit” services, assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, financial audits of employee benefit plans, agreed upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements. Tax services include tax compliance, tax planning and tax advisory services.

Our Audit Committee may grant pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as “All Other” services that it believes are routine and recurring services and when such pre-approval would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firms.

Proposal 4.

F.N.B. Reincorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Overview

Our Board of Directors has approved, and recommends that our shareholders approve, a proposal to change the Corporation’s state of incorporation from the State of Florida to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We refer to this proposal as the “Reincorporation Proposal.” If our shareholders approve the Reincorporation Proposal, we will accomplish the reincorporation by converting the corporation from a Florida corporation to a Pennsylvania business corporation (i.e., “redomesticating” the Corporation from Florida to Pennsylvania), as provided in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and the Florida Business Corporation Act. For purposes of this Proposal No. 4, we sometimes refer to the Corporation as “FNB-FL” prior to the reincorporation, and as “FNB-Penn” after the reincorporation.

The principal effects of the reincorporation will be to

•

Change the law applicable to the Corporation’s corporate affairs from Florida law to Pennsylvania law;

•

Change the governing instruments for the Corporation from its existing articles of incorporation and bylaws to the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn, which are intended to preserve for our shareholders substantially the same rights they currently have under the Corporation’s existing articles of incorporation and bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act, have been approved by our Board of Directors and are attached to this proxy statement as Exhibits I and II to Appendix A — Plan of Conversion;

•

FNB-Penn will (a) be deemed to be the same entity as FNB-FL for all purposes under Florida and Pennsylvania law, (b) continue to have all of the rights, privileges and powers of FNB-FL, except for the changes that result from being governed by Pennsylvania law, FNB-Penn’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, (c) continue to possess all of the properties of, and debts owed to, FNB-FL, and (d) continue to have all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of FNB-FL;

•

Each outstanding share of FNB-FL common stock will continue as an outstanding share of FNB-Penn common stock, and each outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of FNB-FL common stock will continue as an outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of FNB-Penn common stock;

•

Each outstanding share of FNB-FL preferred stock will continue as an outstanding share of FNB-Penn preferred stock with the same relative rights, preferences and limitations enjoyed by the FNB-FL preferred stock immediately prior to the reincorporation;

•

Each employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of FNB-FL will continue as an employee benefit plan, incentive compensation plan or other similar plan of FNB-Penn;

•

Each director or officer of FNB-FL will continue to hold his or her respective office with FNB-Penn;

•

The name of the Corporation following execution of the Reincorporation Proposal will remain F.N.B. Corporation;

•

The number of shares of common stock owned by each shareholder, and each shareholder’s proportional percentage ownership of the Corporation will remain unchanged and will not be affected by the completion of the Reincorporation. The Corporation’s shareholders do not need to exchange their stock certificates for new stock certificates; and

•

There will be no income tax impact to the Corporation’s shareholders as a result of the completion of the Reincorporation. The basis for the Corporation’s shareholders and duration of holding their shares will be unchanged.

While the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn are substantially the same as the existing articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Corporation, the reincorporation will result in some changes to shareholders’ rights. See “— Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights Before and After the Reincorporation.” Copies of the Corporation’s existing articles of incorporation and bylaws are available upon request to the Corporate Secretary, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212, or (800) 555-5455.

For the reasons discussed below, our Board of Directors believes that the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders would be served by changing its state of incorporation from Florida to Pennsylvania. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” approval of the Reincorporation Proposal.

Reasons for the Reincorporation

Our Board of Directors believes that the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders will be served by changing the Corporation’s state of incorporation from Florida to Pennsylvania. At the time of its organization in 1974, the Corporation was incorporated as a business corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During the 1990s, the Corporation focused on expanding its market presence in southwest Florida through affiliations with community banks located primarily between Naples and Clearwater, Florida, and acquisitions of independent insurance agencies located in Florida. Through its growth and expansion in Florida, the principal executive headquarters, along with the majority of the Corporation’s assets and operations, came to be located in Florida and, in 2001, the Corporation reincorporated from Pennsylvania to the State of Florida. Subsequently, to enable its shareholders to realize greater value from its growing Florida operations, in January 2004, the Corporation spun off its Florida operations by transferring the assets relating to its Florida operations to a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation and distributing all of the outstanding shares of the subsidiary to the Corporation’s shareholders. Since 2004, notwithstanding the spin-off of its Florida operations, the Corporation has remained a Florida corporation but has re-focused on growing its markets in Pennsylvania and, within the last few years, expanding into selected markets in Maryland, eastern Ohio and West Virginia. As a result of its growth and expansion over the last decade, the Corporation had total assets of $17.5 billion as of December 31, 2015, with the majority of the Corporation’s assets, operations and employees now being located in Pennsylvania. After closing its Florida commercial loan office in 2013, which was maintained solely to manage a small portfolio of Florida commercial real estate loans that were originated from 2005 through 2009, the Corporation has no assets, operations or employees in Florida. In July 2014, the Corporation formally moved its corporate headquarters from the City of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, to Pittsburgh, which has become the Corporation’s largest market. The Corporation’s largest subsidiary, First National Bank of Pennsylvania, holds the number three retail deposit share position in the Pittsburgh metropolitan statistical area as well as the Harrisburg-Carlisle metropolitan statistical area. The Board of Directors and management of the Corporation are committed to supporting the Pennsylvania business community and the economic growth of both the Corporation and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As a result of these developments in the Corporation’s business, it desires to re-establish its legal domicile under the laws of Pennsylvania so that its internal corporate affairs may be governed by the laws of the state where all of its key executive officers and the substantial majority of its assets, operations and employees are located. Due to the flexibility of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, and the fact that the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn contain substantially the same provisions as the existing articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL, the Corporation believes the rights of its shareholders will not be impaired by the reincorporation and, overall, the rights of its shareholders will remain substantially the same as they are under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Effect of the Reincorporation

If this proposal is approved, the reincorporation will cause a change in the legal domicile of the Corporation and other changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described below in the section entitled “— Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights Before and After the Reincorporation.”

The reincorporation will not affect the respective positions of the Corporation or its shareholders under the federal securities laws or stock exchange listing rules. The reincorporation will not affect the trading of the Corporation’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “FNB.” The Corporation will continue to file periodic reports and other documents as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing rules. Shareholders who own shares of FNB-FL common stock that are freely tradable prior to the reincorporation will continue to hold freely tradable shares in FNB-Penn after the reincorporation, and shareholders holding restricted shares of FNB-FL common stock prior to the reincorporation will continue to hold shares of FNB-Penn common stock that are subject to the same restrictions after the reincorporation. Existing shareholders will not be required to exchange existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of FNB-Penn.

Additionally, the reincorporation will not result in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities or net worth of the Corporation, nor will it result in any change in the location of our headquarters or current employees, including management. Members of the Corporation’s management, including all directors and officers, will retain in FNB-Penn each of their respective positions, responsibilities, duties and benefits they currently hold with FNB-FL. The reincorporation will not affect our daily business operations, our organizational structure, or our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The reincorporation will not affect the amount or timing of any dividends to be paid by the Corporation. In addition, the reincorporation will not alter the composition of management or the Board of Directors. After the reincorporation, the Corporation’s principal executive offices will remain located at One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212.

Plan of Conversion

The terms and conditions under which the Corporation would convert from a Florida corporation to a Pennsylvania business corporation are set forth in the Plan of Conversion attached as Appendix A, which has been approved by our Board of Directors.

The Plan of Conversion provides that the Corporation will convert into a Pennsylvania business corporation and become subject to Pennsylvania law. By virtue of the conversion, all of the rights, privileges and powers of FNB-FL, all property owned by FNB-FL, all debts due to FNB-FL and all causes of action belonging to FNB-FL immediately prior to the conversion will remain vested in FNB-Penn following the conversion. In addition, by virtue of the conversion, all debts, liabilities and duties of FNB-FL immediately prior to the conversion will remain attached to FNB-Penn following the conversion. Each director and officer of FNB-FL will continue to hold his or her respective office with FNB-Penn.

If the Plan of Conversion is adopted and approved, the Corporation will file the necessary documents with the Florida Secretary of State and Pennsylvania Department of State to complete the reincorporation. The Corporation would need to file a certificate of conversion with the Florida Secretary of State and a statement of domestication with the Pennsylvania Department of State, which will include the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn, to complete the reincorporation. FNB-Penn will also adopt the Pennsylvania bylaws attached as Exhibit II to the Plan of Conversion.

If the Plan of Conversion is adopted and approved, it is anticipated that the Board of Directors will cause FNB-FL to complete the reincorporation as soon as practicable. However, the reincorporation may be delayed by the Board of Directors or the Plan of Conversion may be terminated and abandoned by the Board of Directors at any time prior to the completion of the reincorporation, including after approval of this proposal, if the Board of Directors determines for any reason that doing so would be in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.

Upon completion of the reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of FNB-FL will automatically convert into one common share of FNB-Penn, and each outstanding option or other right to

purchase shares of FNB-FL common stock will constitute an option or other right to purchase an equal number of common shares of FNB-Penn; and each outstanding share of the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, of FNB-FL (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) will automatically convert into one preferred share of FNB-Penn having the same relative rights, preferences and limitations, and each outstanding depositary share representing a 1/40th fractional interest in a share of the Series E Preferred Stock will constitute a depositary share representing a 1/40th fractional interest in a preferred share of FNB-Penn having the same relative rights, preferences and limitations as the Series E Preferred Stock. Shareholders and holders of stock options will not be required to exchange their FNB-FL stock certificates or stock options, respectively, and should not destroy any stock certificate or stock option or submit any stock certificate or stock option to the Corporation unless they are requested to do so. Any FNB-FL stock certificates submitted to the Corporation for transfer after the completion of the reincorporation, whether pursuant to a sale or otherwise, will be exchanged automatically for FNB-Penn stock certificates.

Vote Required

The Reincorporation Proposal will be approved by our shareholders if a majority of the votes cast by the shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual meeting are voted in favor of the Reincorporation Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be included in the total votes cast and will not affect the voting results.

If the Plan of Conversion is adopted and approved, the Corporation will file a certificate of conversion of FNB-FL with the Florida Secretary of State. At the same time, the Corporation will file with the Pennsylvania Department of State a statement of domestication of FNB-FL which attaches the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn. In addition, assuming that the Plan of Conversion is adopted and approved, and that the certificate of conversion is filed with the Florida Secretary of State, and that the statement of domestication and the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn are filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State, the bylaws attached as Exhibit II to the Plan of Conversion will be adopted by FNB-Penn.

Dissenters or Appraisal Rights

The shareholders of the Corporation will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights as a result of the reincorporation.

Effect of Vote for the Reincorporation Proposal

Approval of the Reincorporation Proposal by our shareholders will constitute approval by our shareholders of the Plan of Conversion and the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn, including those provisions of the bylaws which, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, (a) would limit the personal liability of the directors, and (b) would authorize the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses incurred by the director or officer in defending against a legal action brought or threatened against the director or officer due to his or her service in such capacity, and to advance payment of those expenses to a director or officer prior to the final disposition of the proceeding. Shareholders are urged to read carefully this proxy statement and the attached appendices. Upon adoption and approval of the Plan of Conversion, the Corporation will be authorized to take the steps necessary under the Plan of Conversion to complete the reincorporation, including to file a certificate of conversion with the Florida Secretary of State and a statement of domestication and the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn with the Pennsylvania Department of State, and to adopt the bylaws of FNB-Penn.

Effect of Not Obtaining the Required Vote for Approval of the Proposal

If we fail to obtain the requisite vote of shareholders for approval of this proposal, the reincorporation will not occur and the Corporation will continue to be incorporated in Florida and governed by Florida law and its existing articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Description of the Corporation’s Capital Stock Following the Reincorporation

If this proposal is approved by our shareholders and the reincorporation is completed, FNB-FL will convert into FNB-Penn, and the rights of shareholders of FNB-FL will generally be governed by Pennsylvania law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn. The following is a description of the capital stock of FNB-Penn upon completion of the reincorporation. This description is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn, copies of which are attached as Exhibits I and II, respectively, to the Plan of Conversion, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A, and relevant provisions of Pennsylvania law.

General. After the reincorporation is completed, the authorized capital of FNB-Penn will continue to be 500,000,000 common shares, par value $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01.

Description of Common Stock. After the reincorporation is completed, FNB-Penn will continue to be authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares, and all of the issued and outstanding common shares at that time will remain issued and outstanding.

Following the reincorporation, the holders of FNB-Penn common shares will continue to be entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except with respect to the contested election of directors (for which a plurality voting standard applies), all questions submitted to a vote of FNB-Penn shareholders will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on that item of business. FNB-Penn shareholders will not be entitled to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

FNB-Penn common shares will not be redeemable, will not have subscription or conversion rights and will not entitle common shareholders to any preemptive rights to subscribe for any shares of any class or series of FNB-Penn capital stock, or for any obligations convertible into shares of any class or series of FNB-Penn capital stock, whether now or hereafter authorized.

Following the reincorporation, the holders of FNB-Penn common shares will continue to be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board in its discretion out of legally available funds. Subject to the rights of any preferred stock outstanding, upon liquidation or dissolution of FNB-Penn, the holders of common shares will be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis all assets remaining for distribution to shareholders.

Both the existing articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL and the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or deferring a change in control of our Corporation, including provisions that:

•

Grant our Board broad discretion to create and issue preferred stock from time to time without shareholder approval;

•

Authorize vacancies on our Board to be filled by a majority of the directors remaining in office, though less than a quorum;

•

Establish advance notice requirements for shareholders to nominate candidates for election as directors at any meeting of shareholders or to present any other business for consideration at any meeting of shareholders;

•

Authorize our Board to consider a broad range of factors in evaluating an unsolicited proposal, including a tender offer proposal; and

•

Require a supermajority vote of shareholders to approve certain transactions that could result in a change in control.

FNB-Penn

common shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE and trade under the symbol “FNB.”

Computershare

will continue to be the transfer agent and registrar for FNB-Penn common stock.

Description of Preferred Stock. Following the reincorporation, the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn will continue to authorize the FNB-Penn Board of Directors to create and provide for the issuance of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, without the approval of our shareholders, subject to any applicable rights of holders of any shares of preferred stock outstanding from time to time. The FNB-Penn Board of Directors will be authorized from time to time to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the relative rights and preferences of each such series, including, without limitation, dividend rights, redemption rights, conversion privileges, liquidation rights and the terms of any sinking fund provided for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series.

The Corporation is currently authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock under the FNB-FL articles of incorporation. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has 110,877 shares of preferred stock outstanding, all of which are shares of the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). Following the reincorporation, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock at that time will remain issued and outstanding the holders of shares of FNB-Penn Series E Preferred Stock will continue to be entitled to the same relative rights and preferences as are set forth in the articles of amendment filed by FNB-FL to establish the Series E Preferred Stock.

The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock provide that holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, when and as declared by our Board of Directors, non-cumulative cash dividends at a rate per annum equal to 7.25% payable quarterly in arrears. No dividends may be paid on the common stock or other junior stock unless all the full dividends for the latest dividend period have been declared and paid on all outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock. The Corporation may, at its option, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock on or after February 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the liquidation amount per share ($1,000) plus the per share amount of any declared and unpaid dividends. The Series E Preferred Stock is also redeemable at the Corporation’s option upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the treatment of the Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or other appropriate federal banking agency. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the liquidation amount per share ($1,000), plus any declared and unpaid dividends prior to the payment of the liquidating distribution, after satisfaction of liabilities or obligations to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any shares of capital stock ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Stock, but before any distribution of assets is made to holders of common stock or any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to distributions on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have no voting rights except in limited circumstances, including: the right to elect two directors, whose seats will be automatically added to the then-current Board of Directors in certain circumstances where dividends have not been paid for six or more quarterly dividend periods; the right to vote on the authorization, creation or issuance of shares of a class or series of stock that is senior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or as to distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation; the right to vote on amendments to the articles of incorporation which adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or special powers of the Series E Preferred Stock; and the right to vote on a binding share exchange or re-classification involving the Series E Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation unless the Series E Preferred Stock remains outstanding or is exchanged for preference securities that are not materially less favorable than the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock.

Depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of FNB-Penn Series E Preferred Stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE and trade under the symbol “FNBPrE.”

Computershare will continue to be the depositary, transfer agent and registrar for the Series E Preferred Stock and the transfer agent and registrar for the depositary shares.

The Charters and Bylaws of FNB-Penn and FNB-FL

The provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn are similar in substance to those of the Corporation’s existing articles of incorporation and bylaws in most respects, except when modified to conform to Pennsylvania law. However, the FNB-Penn bylaws provide that an individual shareholder or group of shareholders must hold at least 25 percent of the Corporation’s common shares in order to be entitled to call a special meeting, which is the minimum percentage ownership required to call a special meeting under Pennsylvania law. In contrast, the FNB-FL bylaws provide that an individual shareholder or group of shareholders who hold at least 10 percent of the Corporation’s common shares (the minimum percentage ownership under Florida law) may call a special meeting.

For a discussion of all the legal changes that will result from the Reincorporation, see “— Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation,” as well as Exhibits I and II, respectively, to the Plan of Conversion, which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

No Changes to Employee Benefit Plans

Upon completion of the reincorporation, all of FNB-FL’s employee benefit plans (including stock option and other equity-based plans) will be continued by FNB-Penn, and each stock option and other equity-based award issued and outstanding pursuant to such plans will automatically convert into a stock option or other equity-based award with respect to the same number of shares of FNB-Penn, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in the applicable plan under which the award was granted and in the agreement reflecting the award. Approval of the reincorporation would constitute approval of the assumption of these plans by FNB-Penn. Assuming the reincorporation is approved by our shareholders, FNB-Penn will continue FNB-FL’s other employee benefit arrangements upon the terms and subject to the conditions currently in effect.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation

The rights of the shareholders of the Corporation are currently governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL and the Florida Business Corporation Act. Upon completion of the reincorporation, the rights of the Corporation’s shareholders will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn and the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and Pennsylvania Entity Transactions Law. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn are substantially identical to the existing articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL, except for statutory references necessary to conform to the Pennsylvania laws cited above, and other differences attributable to the differences between the corporation laws of the two states.

One significant difference between the corporation laws of Florida and Pennsylvania is that the Pennsylvania laws contain special rules for “Registered Corporations,” which are public companies, such as the Corporation. To the extent that any rules for Registered Corporations differ materially from the corresponding rules under the Florida Business Corporation Act or under the existing articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL, where possible, FNB-Penn has opted out of those rules. See “Shareholder Action by Written Consent”; “Dissenters or Appraisal Rights”; and “Anti-Takeover Provisions” under “— Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation” below.

Although it is not practical to compare all the differences between, on the one hand, the Florida corporation laws and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL, and on the other hand, the Pennsylvania corporation laws and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn, the following is a summary of certain of those differences which may significantly affect your rights as a shareholder of the Corporation. This summary is not intended to be relied upon as an exhaustive list of all such differences or a complete description of the provisions discussed, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, the Pennsylvania Entity Transactions Law, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL and the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn. Copies

of the proposed articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-Penn are included in this proxy statement as Exhibits I and II of the Plan of Conversion at Appendix A. Copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of FNB-FL are available at no charge upon request to the Corporate Secretary, One North Shore Center, 12 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212, or (800) 555-5455.


FNB-FL		FNB-Penn
Majority Voting — Director Elections The FNB-FL bylaws provide that in an uncontested director election, each director is elected by a majority of votes cast, and that if an incumbent director fails to be re-elected and a successor director is not elected at the same meeting, the director who failed to be re-elected will promptly tender his or her resignation to the board of directors. The Board of Directors will accept or reject the resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. In a contested election, the directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Removal of Directors The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law permits a corporation’s shareholders to remove directors with or without cause if removal is approved by a majority of the votes cast. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law also provides that a corporation’s articles of incorporation may not prohibit removal of directors by shareholders for cause.

FNB-FL		FNB-Penn
Board Vacancies Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, if there is a vacancy on the board of directors, the vacancy may be filled by majority vote of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, or by the shareholders. The FNB-FL bylaws are consistent with the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to the authority of the Board of Directors to fill vacancies. Additionally, if a vacancy will result from a resignation that takes effect at a future date, the FNB-FL bylaws permit the resigning director to participate in the vote to fill the future vacancy.

The FNB-Penn bylaws are substantially the same as the FNB-FL bylaws with respect to the quorum requirement, and are consistent with the above-described provision of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law.

Shareholder Voting — Action Generally As to matters other than the election of directors, the Florida Business Corporation Act provides that an action is approved by the shareholders if more votes are cast in favor of the action than against. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. The FNB-FL bylaws provide that shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share standing in the shareholder’s name on the applicable record date, and that the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is needed to approve an action. See “Majority Voting — Director Elections” above for the vote required in an election of directors.		Shareholder Voting — Action Generally The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law is substantially the same as the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to the shareholder vote required to approve an action or in the election of directors.

FNB-FL		FNB-Penn
Shareholder Proposals; Advance Notice The FNB-FL bylaws provide that shareholders must provide written notice of any director nomination or proposal to be submitted at an annual meeting not later than the close of business on 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement released to shareholders for the annual meeting in the immediately preceding year. The notice must contain the information described in Section 1.11(a) of the FNB-FL bylaws, with respect to a director nomination, or Section 1.11(b) of the FNB-FL bylaws, with respect to a shareholder proposal.		Shareholder Proposals; Advance Notice The FNB-Penn bylaws have substantially the same advance notice requirements for director nominations and shareholder proposals as the FNB-FL bylaws. Shareholders must provide written notice of any director nomination or proposal to be submitted at an annual meeting not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement released to shareholders for the annual meeting in the immediately preceding year. The notice must contain the information described in Section 1.11(a) of the FNB-Penn bylaws, with respect to a director nomination, or Section 1.11(b) of the FNB-Penn bylaws, with respect to a shareholder proposal.

Shareholder Voting — Mergers Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, a plan of merger or sale of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business must be approved by the board of directors and the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the transaction, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation or the board of directors require a higher vote. However, a corporation may adopt a plan of merger without obtaining shareholder approval if: (A) the corporation will be the survivor of the merger; (B) the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation will not differ (except for certain minor amendments that would not otherwise require shareholder approval) from its articles of incorporation before the merger; and (C) each shareholder of the surviving corporation whose shares were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger will hold, immediately after the merger, the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights. FNB-FL’s articles of incorporation require a supermajority vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock to approve a merger or sale of all or substantially all or a substantial part of the properties or assets of FNB-FL if the Board of Directors of has not approved and recommended the transaction.		Shareholder Voting — Mergers Under the Pennsylvania Entity Transactions Law and the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, a plan of merger or sale of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on the transaction. However, a corporation may adopt a plan of merger (including a merger where the corporation is not the survivor) or sale of all or substantially all of its assets without obtaining shareholder approval if: (A) the surviving entity is a Pennsylvania corporation and its articles of incorporation will be identical to those of the corporation for which shareholder approval is not required (except for certain minor amendments that would not otherwise require shareholder approval); (B) each share of the corporation outstanding prior to the transaction will continue as or be converted into an identical share of the surviving entity; and (C) the plan provides that immediately after the transaction, the shareholders of the corporation will hold in the aggregate sufficient shares of the surviving entity to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors.


FNB-FL		FNB-Penn
Shareholder Action by Written Consent The Florida Business Corporation Act permits shareholders to take action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent. One or more written consents describing the action must be signed by the holders of the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize that action at a meeting. An action taken by consent will only become effective upon compliance with certain delivery and notice requirements. The FNB-FL bylaws do not contain any provision that would vary from the Florida Business Corporation Act.		Shareholder Action by Written Consent Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, shareholders may take action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent if permitted by the articles of incorporation. If the articles of incorporation permit shareholders to take action in this manner, the consent must be signed by the holders of the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize the action at a meeting; and the action will only become effective upon compliance with certain delivery and notice requirements. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation provide that the shareholders may act by less than unanimous consent.

Special Meetings of Shareholders The Florida Business Corporation Act states that a special meeting of shareholders may be called by: • the board of directors; • the persons authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws; or • the holders of not less than 10% of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter to be considered. The FNB-FL bylaws are consistent with the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to the power to call special meetings.		Special Meetings of Shareholders The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law states that a special meeting of shareholders may be called by: • the board of directors; • the persons authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws; or • if permitted by the articles of incorporation, the holders of at least 25% of the votes that all shareholders would be entitled to cast at the meeting. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that a special meeting may be called by the holders of at least 25% of the votes that all shareholders would be entitled to cast at the meeting. The FNB-Penn bylaws are consistent with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law with respect to the power of the Board of Directors and other designated persons to call special meetings and are substantially the same as the FNB-FL bylaws in this regard.

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation The Florida Business Corporation Act states that, unless the articles of incorporation provide for a greater vote, an amendment to the articles of incorporation will be approved if the shareholder votes cast in favor of an amendment to the articles of incorporation exceed the votes cast against the amendment. However, if the proposed amendment would trigger dissenters’ rights		Amendment of Articles of Incorporation The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law states that, unless the articles of incorporation or the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provide for a greater vote, an amendment to the articles of amendment which has been approved by the board of directors will be adopted upon receiving the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all

under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast. The Florida Business Corporation Act does not require shareholder approval for certain non-material amendments to the articles of incorporation. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation state that certain actions, such as approval of a merger which has not been approved by the Board of Directors, or removal of a director or the entire Board of Directors without cause, will require a supermajority vote of the shareholders. Those voting provisions may not be amended or repealed unless a supermajority vote of the shareholders is obtained.		shareholders entitled to vote on the matter. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law does not require shareholder approval for certain non-material amendments to the articles of incorporation. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation are substantially the same as the FNB-FL articles of incorporation with respect to the need for a supermajority vote of the shareholders for certain actions, such as approval of a merger which has not been approved by the Board of Directors, or removal of a director or the entire Board of Directors without cause, and the need for a supermajority vote of the shareholders to amend or repeal those provisions.

Amendment of Bylaws Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is given to both the board of directors and the shareholders; however, the corporation’s articles of incorporation may reserve such power to the shareholders only. Additionally, the Florida Business Corporation Act reserves to the shareholders the power to adopt or amend bylaws on certain governance matters, e.g., the proportion of votes necessary in the election of directors, if set forth in a bylaw provision or amendment adopted by the shareholders; staggered terms for directors; an increase in the quorum or voting requirements for the shareholders, if the original requirements were set forth in a bylaw provision or amendment adopted by the shareholders. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the bylaws may be amended, or new bylaws may be adopted, by action of the Board of Directors or the shareholders, by the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the shares entitled to vote.		Amendment of Bylaws Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation law, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is vested with the shareholders, but may be vested exclusively with the board of directors if the corporation’s articles or bylaws so provide. Additionally, Pennsylvania reserves to the shareholders the power to adopt or amend bylaws on certain governance matters, e.g., exculpation of directors from personal liability; classification of board of directors; elimination of right to remove directors without cause; opting out of default shareholder voting requirements; opting out of the default provision relating to judges of election. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws are substantially the same as the FNB-FL articles of incorporation and bylaws with respect to amendment of the bylaws.

Board or Committee Action by Written Consent The Florida Business Corporation Act states that, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the board of directors or a committee of the board may take action without a meeting if a written consent describing the action taken is signed by each director or committee member. The FNB-FL bylaws are consistent with the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to permitting board and committee action by written consent.		Board or Committee Action by Written Consent The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law states that, unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, the board of directors may take action without a meeting if a consent is signed by all of the directors in office.

Transactions With Interested Directors The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that, if a corporation proposes to enter into a contract or other transaction with a director or an entity in which the director serves as a director or officer or has a financial interest, the contract or transaction is not void or voidable solely due to the fact that the director has a conflict of interest, or that the interested director attended the board or committee meeting at which the contract or transaction was approved, or that the interested director voted on the contract or transaction, as long as one of the following requirements is met: • the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board or committee, and the contract or transaction was approved or ratified by a majority of the directors who have no interest in the contract or transaction (however, the contract or transaction may not be approved or ratified by a single director); • the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders, and the contract or transaction was approved or ratified by the shareholders and by a majority of the shares entitled to vote excluding any shares held by the interested director; or • the contract or transaction was fair and reasonable to the corporation at the time it is authorized by the board, a committee of the board or the shareholders. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that would vary from the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to transactions with interested directors.		Transactions With Interested Directors or Officers The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provides that, if a corporation proposes to enter into a contract or other transaction with an officer or director, or an entity in which the officer or director serves as an officer or director or has a financial or other interest, the contract or transaction is not void or voidable solely due to the fact that the officer or director has a conflict of interest, or that the interested officer or director attended or participated in the board meeting at which the contract or transaction was approved, or that the interested director voted on the contract or transaction, as long as one of the following requirements is met: • the material facts regarding the officer’s or director’s relationship or interest and the contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the board of directors, and the contract or transaction is approved by a majority of the directors who have no interest in the contract or transaction, even if less than a quorum; • the material facts regarding the officer’s or director’s relationship or interest and the contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the shareholders, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of those shareholders; or • the contract or transaction was fair to the corporation at the time it was authorized by the board or the shareholders. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that would vary from the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law with respect to transactions with interested officers or interested directors.

Dissenters or Appraisal Rights The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that a shareholder is entitled to appraisal rights, and to obtain the fair value of its shares, in the following types of transactions, if they are subject to shareholder approval: conversion of the corporation to another type of entity; merger; share exchange; or disposition of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property other than in the usual and regular course of business. Appraisal rights also would also be available to a particular class or series of shares in the case of an amendment to the articles of incorporation that effects a reverse stock split		Dissenters or Appraisal Rights The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provides that shareholders have the right to dissent from a transaction and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares if the provision of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law which authorizes the transaction states dissenters’ rights are available in that transaction.

The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that would vary from the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law with respect to dissenters’ rights.

Sale of Assets; Dissolution Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the sale or other disposition by a corporation of all or substantially all of its property, other than in the usual and regular course of business, or a proposal to dissolve, must be approved by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the transaction. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the shares of common stock entitled to vote is needed to approve a sale or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all or a substantial part of the properties or assets of FNB-FL.

The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that would vary from the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law with respect to dissolution.

Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision or failure to act, regarding corporate management or policy, by a director unless: • the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director; and • the director’s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes (A) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or conduct was unlawful; (B) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly; (C) declaration of an unlawful distribution; (D) in the context of a derivative proceeding, conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation or willful misconduct; or (E) in the context of a third party proceeding, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety or property. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of FNB-FL shall be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take action. The FNB-FL bylaws are consistent with the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to limitation of the personal liability of directors.		Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, a bylaw that is adopted by the shareholders may provide that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken unless (A) the director breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office under Chapter 17, Subchapter B of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law; and (B) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Also, a corporation may not eliminate personal liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or payment of taxes pursuant to federal, state or local laws. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation are substantially the same as the FNB-FL articles of incorporation with respect to limitation of the personal liability of directors. The FNB-Penn bylaws contain a provision that is consistent with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law with respect to limitation of liability of directors, which will become effective if the shareholders of the Corporation approve the Reincorporation Proposal. A vote “FOR” the Reincorporation Proposal also constitutes a vote “FOR” adoption and approval of the FNB-Penn bylaws, including the bylaw provision that would limit the personal liability of FNB-Penn directors.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Florida Business Corporation Act allows corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan) against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

With respect to proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the Florida Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify the same persons listed above, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement or the proceeding including any appeal, if the person to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonable believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. However, indemnification is not available for any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is adjudged to be liable, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

The FNB-FL articles of incorporation and bylaws require FNB-FL to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding, whether derivative or not, and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that is brought or threatened to be brought against the director or officer by reason of his or her service as a director or officer of FNB-FL or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law allows corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

With respect to proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify the same persons listed above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. However, indemnification is not available for any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is adjudged to be liable, unless a court of common pleas where the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought determines that he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation and bylaws are substantially the same as the FNB-FL articles of incorporation and bylaws with respect to the rights of officers and directors to indemnification. A vote “FOR” the Reincorporation Proposal also constitutes a vote “FOR” adoption and approval of the FNB-Penn bylaws, including the bylaw provision that would authorize FNB-Penn to indemnify officers and directors of FNB-Penn.

Advancement of Expenses The Florida Business Corporation Act allows corporations to pay, in advance of the final disposition of a civil or criminal proceeding to which a director or officer is a party, the expenses incurred by the director or officer for his or her defense. As a condition to advancing expenses, the corporation must receive an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the corporation under the Florida Business Corporation Act. (See “Indemnification of Directors and Officers” above.) The FNB-FL bylaws require FNB-FL to pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, provided that FNB-FL has received an undertaking by the officer or director to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation.

The FNB-Penn bylaws are substantially the same as the FNB-FL bylaws with respect to the rights of officers and directors to advancement of expenses. A vote “FOR” the Reincorporation Proposal also constitutes a vote “FOR” adoption and approval of the FNB-Penn bylaws, including the bylaw provision that would authorize FNB-Penn to advance expenses incurred by officers and directors of FNB-Penn in defending against an action or proceeding.

The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation also state that all shares of the preferred stock must be of equal rank with each other, regardless of series.

Declaration of Dividends Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, dividends may be declared unless, after giving effect to the distribution, (A) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (B) the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy shareholders’ preferential rights upon dissolution. The board of directors may base its determination (as to whether or not a distribution may be made) on financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances or on a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable in the circumstances. Florida law provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal liability of a director who has breached or failed to perform his or her duties in authorizing an unlawful distribution.

The board of directors may base its determination (as to whether or not a distribution may be made) on (A) the book values of the assets and liabilities of the corporation, as reflected on its books and records; (B) a valuation that takes into consideration unrealized appreciation and depreciation or other changes in value of the assets and liabilities of the corporation; (C) the current value of the assets and liabilities of the corporation, either valued separately or valued in segments or asan entirety as a going concern; or (D) any other method that is reasonable under the circumstances. The board of directors is required to consider obligations and liabilities if they are required to be reflected on a balance sheet prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles.

Anti-Takeover Provisions Transactions With Interested Shareholders. Under Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, an “interested shareholder” is any person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns 10 percent or more of any voting stock of the corporation. A corporation may not enter into certain types of transactions with the interested shareholder, such as (A) a merger or consolidation, (B) a sale, lease, mortgage, pledge or other disposition of assets having a fair market value above a specified threshold, or (C) a sale of shares having a fair market value above a specified threshold, without approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation, other than shares beneficially owned by the interested stockholder. This approval is not required in certain situations, including the following: • a majority of the disinterested directors has approved the interested shareholder transaction; or • the consideration that shareholders will receive satisfies a statutory “fair price” requirement, as determined by a formula under the Florida Business Corporation Act. A corporation may elect to opt out from this anti-takeover provision in its articles of incorporation. FNB-FL has not opted out from this anti-takeover provision.		Anti-Takeover Provisions Chapter 25 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law contains a number of statutory anti-takeover provisions which only apply to “Registered Corporations”, such as the Corporation, unless the company has opted out from one or more of those provisions. In its articles of incorporation, FNB-Penn has opted out of all of the specific anti-takeover provisions in Chapter 25. In lieu of those provisions, the articles of incorporation of FNB-Penn incorporate Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act as currently in effect (and which is applicable to the Corporation). See the corresponding left hand column for a summary of Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act. The specific anti-takeover provisions which FNB-Penn has opted out of are: • Subchapter 25E, which, with certain exceptions, entitles shareholders to be paid the fair value of their shares by anyone who acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting power of the corporation; • Subchapter 25F, which imposes certain financial requirements and restrictions on business combinations with interested shareholders of the corporation; • Subchapter 25G, which, with certain exceptions, limits the voting rights of persons who have acquired 20% or more of the outstanding voting power of the corporation; • Subchapter 25H, which requires disgorgement of certain profits made by controlling shareholders following their attempts to gain control of the corporation; • Subchapter 25I, relating to severance compensation for employees terminated following certain control-share acquisitions; and

FNB-FL		FNB-Penn

		• Subchapter 25J, relating generally to the continuation of labor contracts following business combination transactions.

“Other Constituency” Provision The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that, in discharging his or her duties, a director may consider such factors as the director deems relevant, including the long-term prospects and interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and the social, economic, legal, or other effects of any action on the employees, suppliers, customers of the corporation or its subsidiaries, the communities and society in which the corporation or its subsidiaries operate, and the economy of the state and the nation. The FNB-FL articles of incorporation provide that, when evaluating any proposal (A) involving a tender offer or exchange offer for any security of the Corporation, (B) to merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation or person, or (C) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all or a substantial part of the properties or assets of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall, in exercising its judgment in determining what is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the long-term prospects and interests of the Corporation and its shareholders, and the social, economic, legal or other effects of any action on the employees, suppliers, customers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, the communities and societies in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries operate, and the economy of the state and the nation. Furthermore, if the Board of Directors determines to reject a proposal for one of the transactions enumerated above, it may take any lawful action to accomplish its purpose, including but not limited to: advising shareholders not to accept the proposal; instituting litigation against the party making the proposal; filing complaints with governmental and regulatory authorities; acquiring the Corporation’s securities; selling or otherwise issuing authorized but unissued securities or treasury stock or granting options to purchase such stock; acquiring a company to create an antitrust or other regulatory problem for the party making the proposal; and obtaining a more favorable offer from another individual or entity.		“Other Constituency” Provision The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provides that, in discharging their duties, the board of directors, committees of the board and individual directors may, in considering the best interests of the corporation, consider to the extent they deem appropriate: • The effects of any action upon any or all groups affected by such action, including shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers and creditors of the corporation, and upon communities in which offices or other establishments of the corporation are located; • The short-term and long-term interests of the corporation, including benefits that may accrue to the corporation from its long-term plans and the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation; • The resources, intent and conduct (past, stated and potential) of any person seeking to acquire control of the corporation; and • All other pertinent factors. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law further states that the fiduciary duty of directors shall not be deemed to require them to (A) redeem any rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) render inapplicable the anti-takeover provisions in Chapter 25 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, or (C) take action as the board of directors, a committee of the board or an individual director solely because the action could have an effect on an acquisition or potential or possible acquisition of control or the consideration that might be offered or paid to shareholders in an acquisition. The FNB-Penn articles of incorporation are substantially the same as the FNB-FL articles of incorporation with respect to permitting the board of directors to consider other constituencies in discharging their duties and to take any lawful action in connection with a determination to reject a proposal.

Derivative Actions Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, a person may bring a derivative action only if the person was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the occurrence of the transaction complained of, or became a shareholder through transfer by operation of law from one who was a shareholder at such time.		Derivative Actions Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, a shareholder may maintain a derivative suit, even if the shareholder was not a shareholder at the time of the alleged wrongdoing, if there is a strong prima facie case in favor of the claim asserted and if the court determines in its discretion that serious injustice would result without such suit.

Regulatory Approvals

The Corporation is not required to obtain any regulatory approvals in advance of the reincorporation.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reincorporation to holders of our common stock. This summary is not a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal tax consequences of the reincorporation that may be relevant to holders. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding your particular circumstances and the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the reincorporation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws.

The reincorporation provided for in the Plan of Conversion is intended to be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Assuming the reincorporation qualifies as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and subject to the qualifications and assumptions described in this proxy statement: (a) holders of FNB-FL common stock will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the completion of the reincorporation, (b) the aggregate tax basis of FNB-Penn common shares immediately following completion of the reincorporation will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the shares of FNB-FL common stock immediately before consummation of the reincorporation, and (c) the holding period for FNB-Penn common shares following the reincorporation will include the holding period of FNB-FL common stock converted therefor.

Accounting Treatment

We expect that the reincorporation will have no effect on the Corporation from an accounting perspective because there is no change in the entity as a result of the reincorporation. As such, the historical financial statements of the Corporation, which have previously been reported to the SEC on our periodic reports, as of and for all periods through the date of this proxy statement, will remain the financial statements of FNB-Penn following the reincorporation.

The shareholder must be a shareholder of record as of the date the notice is delivered and at the time of the Annual Meeting and must be entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice must be in writing and contain the information specified in our bylaws for a director nomination or other business. The notice must contain certain information about the proposal or nominee, as applicable, which is generally equivalent to the information that would be required to be disclosed under the proxy rules of the SEC if proxies were solicited for shareholder consideration of the matter at a meeting of shareholders, as well as certain information about the shareholder who is making the proposal or nomination. Nominees also will be required to submit a completed and signed questionnaire. The questionnaire will be provided by our Corporate Secretary upon request and is similar to the annual questionnaire completed by all of our directors regarding their background, experience and independence.

Only shareholder proposals and nominations submitted in accordance with the Company bylaw provisions will be eligible for presentation at our 2017 Annual Meeting, and any other matter not submitted to our Board in accordance with such provisions will not be considered or acted upon at our 2017 Annual Meeting. The Board Chairman is authorized to determine whether a nomination or proposal was made in accordance with our bylaws and to declare that a defective nomination or proposal be disregarded.

104

OTHER MATTERS

As of April 1, 2016, our Board does not know of any other matter to be presented for consideration at our Annual Meeting other than the matters described above. However, if any other matter is presented in conformance with our bylaws, proxies in the enclosed form returned to us will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the individuals designated as proxies.

“Householding” of Proxy Materials.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. We, and some brokers who household proxy materials, may deliver a single proxy statement to multiple shareholders who share an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account, or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to: Shareholder Services, F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148, or by calling our Transfer Agent representative at 1-800-368-5948. Upon written or oral request to us or our Transfer Agent representative, a separate copy of our proxy statement and annual report will promptly be sent to you.

Electronic Delivery of Proxy Materials

You can also access our proxy statement, Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and our Annual Report to shareholders, via the Internet at http://www.envisionreports.com/fnb.

For our 2017 Annual Meeting, you can help us save significant printing and mailing expenses by consenting to access our proxy materials and Annual Report electronically via the Internet. If you hold your shares in your own name (instead of “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee), you can choose this option by appropriately marking the box on your proxy card denoting your consent to electronic access or, if voting by telephone at 1-800-652-8683, following the prompts for consenting to electronic access, or following the instructions at the Internet voting website at http://www.envisionreports.com/fnb which has been established for you to vote your shares for the meeting. If you choose to receive your proxy materials and Annual Report electronically, then prior to next year’s Annual Meeting you will receive notification when the proxy materials and Annual Report are available for on-line review via the Internet, as well as the instructions for voting electronically via the Internet. Your choice for electronic distribution will remain in effect until you revoke it by sending a written request to: Shareholder Services, F.N.B. Corporation, One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage, Pennsylvania 16148. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by that entity if you wish to access our proxy materials electronically via the Internet.

A. Series A — Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

1. Designation and number of shares of series.

A series of Preferred Stock comprised of 60,000 shares is created, established and designated “Series A-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock” (hereinafter called “Series A Preferred Stock”).

2. Dividend rights.

2.1 The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, preferential cumulative dividends in cash at the annual rate of $1.68 per share and no more, payable in equal quarterly installments on the 15th days of March, June, September and December of each year. In the case of the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on or prior to June 30, 1985, such dividends shall be cumulative from and after June 30, 1985. In the case of the issuance of shares of other Series A Preferred Stock issued after such date, such dividends with respect to each of such other shares shall be cumulative from the quarterly dividend payment date next preceding the date of issuance of such shares to which dividends have been paid on Series A Preferred Stock (or from June 30, 1985 if such other shares are issued on or prior to the record date for the first dividend declared on Series A Preferred Stock), unless the date of issuance of such shares is a dividend payment date to which dividends have been paid on Series A Preferred Stock or a date between the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend which has been declared and the date for payment thereof, in either of which events such dividends shall be cumulative from such dividend payment date, so that all holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on any record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive any dividend thereon shall have the same dividend rights per share.

2.2 So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, other than (i) dividends on common stock payable in common stock, (ii) dividends payable in stock which is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation) and (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such dividend, shall be paid or declared in cash or otherwise, nor shall any other distribution be made, on the common stock or on any other stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, unless there shall be no arrearages in dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for any past quarterly dividend period, and all cumulative dividends shall have been paid or declared in full on the Series A Preferred Stock for the current quarterly dividend period.

2.3 Subject to the foregoing provisions, such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid from time to time on the common stock or on any other stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, without any right of participation therein by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

I-2

2.4 So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no shares of any stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or by any subsidiary, except in connection with (i) a reclassification or exchange of any stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock through the issuance of other stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation), or (ii) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with proceeds of a reasonably contemporaneous sale of other stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation), nor shall any funds be set aside or made available for any purchase, redemption or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, unless there shall be no arrearages in dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for any past quarterly dividend period.

2.5 If there are any arrearages in dividends for any past quarterly dividend period on any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, or if dividends shall not have been paid or declared in full for the current quarterly period on all series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends to the extent that dividends on such other series of Preferred Stock are cumulative, any dividends paid or declared on the Series A Preferred Stock or on any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends shall be shared ratably by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends in proportion to such respective arrearages and unpaid and undeclared current quarterly cumulative dividends.

3. Liquidation preference.

3.2 If the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to permit payment of the full preferential amount payable to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution upon liquidation, then the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of such other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution upon liquidation shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other series of Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amounts payable on their respective shares upon liquidation.

3.4 For the purposes of this section 3, a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other corporation shall not be deemed, as such, to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, but any reorganization of the Corporation required by any court or administrative body in order to comply with any provision of law shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation unless the preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights granted to or imposed upon the Series A Preferred Stock are not adversely affected by such reorganization.

4. Redemption.

The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to call for redemption by the Corporation, nor shall any holder thereof have the right to require redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

I-3

5. Status of Series A Preferred Stock repurchased or declassified.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock repurchased or declassified as such by future resolution of the Board of Directors shall be deemed to be authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock exchanged for shares of any other class or series shall thereby be deemed to be cancelled and the number of shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue shall be correspondingly reduced.

6. Restrictions on certain action affecting Series A Preferred Stock.

6.1 The Corporation will not (i) establish any other series of Preferred Stock ranking prior to, or authorize any other class of stock ranking prior to (or issuable in series which may, by resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series, rank prior to), the Series A Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, or increase the authorized number of shares of any such other class or series of stock, or (ii) amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or of this resolution so as to affect adversely the preferences, special rights or powers of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (iii) effect a merger or consolidation which would affect adversely the preferences, special rights or powers of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, without the consent given in writing without a meeting or affirmative vote given in person or by proxy at a meeting called for the purpose, by the holders of at least 66-2/3 per cent of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

6.2 The Corporation may, without the consent or affirmative vote of any holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, establish any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with, or authorize any other class of stock ranking on a parity with (or issuable in series which may, by resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series, rank on a parity with), the Series A Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation or both, or increase the authorized number of shares of any such other class or series.

7. Voting rights.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share upon all matters upon which holders of common stock have the right to vote, and such votes shall be counted together with those of the common stock and not separately as a class or group; provided, however, that if from time to time the outstanding shares of common stock shall be increased by any subdivision of shares, or decreased by combination of shares, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall not simultaneously be so increased or decreased in the same proportion, the number of votes of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so that the proportionate voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock and of the common stock shall be the same immediately after such increase or decrease as immediately before it to the nearest 1/10th of a vote per share.

8. Conversion rights.

8.1 The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, at any time or from time to time after June 30,1989, to surrender shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for conversion into shares of common stock of the Corporation. Subject to the provisions set forth in this section 8, each share of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered hereunder shall be converted, as of the close of business on the date of such surrender, into that number of shares of common stock having at that time an aggregate value equal to $25.00 (the “Conversion Price”).

8.2 In order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Transfer Agent for the common stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at said office that he elects to convert the same or part thereof. The Corporation as soon as practicable thereafter will issue and deliver at said office to such holder a certificate for

the number of full shares of common stock to which he shall be entitled hereunder; however, such holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such common stock at the time as of which such conversion takes place as aforesaid.

8.3 No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment, concurrently with issuance of the certificate for the full number of shares to which the holder is entitled, in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Stabilized Market Value (hereinafter defined) used to determine the holder’s entitlement to common stock.

8.4 In determining the number of shares of common stock to which the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted, the following provisions shall be applied, to wit:

(a) The Conversion Price shall be divided by the then Stabilized Market Value (hereinafter defined) per share, and the quotient shall determine the number of shares (calculated to ten-thousandths) of common stock issuable upon conversion, except in cases to which paragraph (b) applies.

(b) If (and for so long as) the Stabilized Market Value should be less than 80% of the Corporation’s last reported book value per share of common stock, the number of shares (calculated to ten-thousandths) of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined by the quotient obtained in dividing (x) the Conversion Price by (y) 80% of the Corporation’s last reported book value per share of common stock. This paragraph (b) shall not apply to conversions effected under Section 9 hereof.

(c) Adjustment shall be made for any dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock during the current quarterly period in which shares thereof are surrendered for conversion, by increasing the Conversion Price by an amount equal to the quarterly dividend yield, prorated to the date on which conversion is effective, on the shares so surrendered. No adjustment shall be made on account of any prior dividends on the common stock issuable upon conversion; nor shall the Corporation be obligated to make any cash payment in respect of any such dividends in connection with the surrender and conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

8.5(a) In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the common stock of the Corporation or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation, each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind(s) of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation that might have been issued (disregarding the time limitation set forth in section 8.1) upon conversion of such share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors) shall be made by the Corporation or the corporation formed by such consolidation or the corporation into which the Corporation shall have merged or the transferee of the Corporation’s assets, as the case may be, in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) If, after giving effect to any such consolidation, merger or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the holders of the Corporation’s common stock (as a group) would own less than 50% of all the issued and outstanding voting stock of the corporation formed by such consolidation or the corporation surviving such merger or the transferee of the Corporation’s assets, as the case may be, then,

I-5

notwithstanding the date set forth in section 8.1, the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be advanced to the close of business on the date on which the shareholders of the Corporation shall have approved the subject transaction.

8.6 In case:

(i) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of its common stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or to receive any other rights; or

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation; or

(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then, and in any such case, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of common stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place, and the date, if any, to be fixed as of which holders of common stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of common stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

8.7 The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued common stock or out of shares of common stock held in its Treasury, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of common stock deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, increase the authorized amount of its common stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of common stock remaining unissued or available from Treasury shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

8.8 The Corporation will pay any and all issue taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of common stock on conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this section 8 or section 9 hereof. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of common stock in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such change in registration has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

8.9 If any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be lawfully issued upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to obtain such registration or approval, as the case may be, but shall not be required to issue such shares until the requisite registration or approval has been obtained.

9. Required Conversion to Common Stock.

9.1 At the option of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into common stock of the Corporation after one-half or more of the shares comprising the Series A Preferred Stock (disregarding shares

I-6

declassified before issue) shall no longer be outstanding (whether by reason of conversion pursuant to section 8 hereof or repurchase or otherwise). Subject to the provisions of this section 9, such option may be exercised at any time by resolution of the Board of Directors, but only with respect to all the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

9.2 Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the option reserved in section 9.1 hereof may be required as of any quarterly dividend payment date (specified in section 2.1 hereof) to which all dividends have been declared and paid in full, as may be determined by the Board of Directors and fixed in the resolution directing such conversion. Notice of the required conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be published once in two newspapers printed in the English language and customarily published on each business day and of general circulation, one in the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania (or if no such newspaper is published in Beaver Falls, then publication in lieu thereof may be made in any other newspaper selected as appropriate for this purpose by the Treasurer of the Corporation), such publications to be at least 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board of Directors for such conversion. Notice of such election shall also be mailed not less than 60 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date fixed for conversion to each holder of record of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted hereunder, at his address as the same may appear on the books of the Corporation.

9.3 Effective upon the date fixed for conversion, as specified in the resolution directing conversion hereunder, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the conversion of which such notices shall have been given (and which remain outstanding on the date so fixed) shall automatically be deemed to be no longer outstanding for any purpose, whether or not the certificates for such shares shall have been surrendered for conversion. All rights with respect to such shares shall thereupon cease and terminate except for the right of the respective holders of the certificates for such shares to receive, upon surrender thereof, duly endorsed, to the transfer agent for the common stock, certificates for the common stock issuable in respect to the conversion of their Series A Preferred Stock as of the date fixed for conversion.

9.4 The number of shares of common stock issuable upon required conversion shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions in section 8 hereof.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 The term “Stabilized Market Value” in this Resolution means the price per share of the Corporation’s common stock paid in secondary trading transactions during the 45-day period next preceding the date as of which Stabilized Market Value is to be determined hereunder, computed on a weighted average basis with respect to the numbers of shares involved in such transactions. Prices paid shall be ascertained in good faith by the Treasurer of the Corporation by reference to all reasonably available data deemed reliable by him for such purpose. If fewer than five secondary trading transactions are found to have occurred during such 45-day period, “Stabilized Market Value” shall be determined by reference to the median between the average bid and ask prices quoted during said period by any two market-makers selected for this purpose in good faith by the Treasurer of the Corporation.

10.2 The last reported book value of the Corporation’s common stock, for purposes of this Resolution, shall be determined by reference to the shareholder’s equity, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, of the Corporation as set forth in the most recent balance sheet of the Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10.3 The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any relative or special rights and powers other than as set forth in this Resolution and in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation.

B. 7-1/2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B

1. Designation and number of shares of series.

A series of Preferred Stock comprised of 460,000 shares is created, established and designated “7-1/2% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B” (hereinafter called “Series B Preferred Stock”).

I-7

2. Dividend rights.

2.1 The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, preferential cumulative dividends in cash at the annual rate of $1.875 per share and no more, payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year commencing June 15, 1992. In the case of the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock on or prior to May 15, 1992, such dividends shall be cumulative from and after May 15, 1992, and the initial dividend for the period commencing on May 15, 1992 to but not including June 15, 1992 shall be payable on June 15, 1992. Such initial dividend and all other dividends payable for a period less than a full quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the case of the issuance of other shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued after May 15, 1992 such dividends with respect to each of such other shares shall be cumulative from the quarterly dividend payment date next preceding the date of issuance of such shares to which dividends have been paid on Series B Preferred Stock (or from May 15, 1992 if such shares are issued on or prior to the record date for the first dividend declared on Series B Preferred Stock), unless the date of issuance of such shares is a dividend payment date to which dividends have been paid on Series B Preferred Stock or a date between the record date for the determination of holders of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend which has been declared and the date of payment thereof, in either of which events such dividend shall be cumulative from such dividend payment date, so that all holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on any record date for the determination of holders of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive any dividend thereon shall have the same dividend rights per share.

2.2 So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, other than (i) dividends on common stock payable in common stock, (ii) dividends payable in stock which is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation), (iii) options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase common stock or other stock which is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and (iv) cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such dividend, shall be paid or declared in cash or otherwise, nor shall any other distribution be made, on the common stock or on any other stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, unless there shall be no arrearages in dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for any past quarterly dividend period, and all cumulative dividends shall have been paid or declared in full on the Series B Preferred Stock for the current quarterly dividend period.

2.3 Subject to the foregoing provisions, such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid from time to time on the common stock or on any other stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, without any right of participation therein by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

2.4 So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no shares of any stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or by any subsidiary, except in connection with (i) a reclassification or exchange of any stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock through the issuance of other stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation), or (ii) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with proceeds of a reasonably contemporaneous sale of other stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (both as to dividends and upon liquidation), nor shall any funds be set aside or made available for any purchase, redemption or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, unless there shall be no arrearages in dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for any past quarterly dividend period.

2.5 If there are any arrearages in dividends for any past quarterly dividend period on any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, or if dividends shall not have been paid or declared in full for the current quarterly period on all series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends to the extent that dividends on such other series of Preferred Stock are cumulative, any dividends paid or declared on the Series B Preferred Stock or on any other series of Preferred

I-8

Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends shall be shared ratably by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends in proportion to such respective arrearages and unpaid and undeclared current quarterly cumulative dividends.

3. Liquidation preference.

3.1 In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (hereinafter sometimes called “liquidation”), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a preferential liquidation payment in an amount equal to $25.00 per share plus all arrearages in dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for the liquidation payment (computed without interest) and no more, before any distribution shall be made to the holders of the common stock or any other stock junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution upon liquidation. The holders of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the liquidation payment in respect of such shares until the liquidation preference of any other shares of the Corporation’s stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the rights upon liquidation shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full.

3.2 If upon any liquidation the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to permit payment of the full preferential amount payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution upon liquidation, then the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of such other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution upon liquidation shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other series of Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amounts payable on their respective shares upon liquidation.

3.3 If the preferential liquidation payment shall have been made in full as provided herein, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of common stock and other junior stock, according to their respective rights and preferences and in accordance with their respective holdings, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

3.4 For the purposes of this section 3, a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other corporation or a sale, lease or conveyance of all or any part of the Corporation’s property or business shall not be deemed, as such, to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, but any reorganization of the Corporation required by any court or administrative body in order to comply with any provision of law shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation unless the preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights granted to or imposed upon the Series B Preferred Stock are not adversely affected by such reorganization.

4. Redemption.

4.1 The Series B Preferred Stock shall not be subject to call for mandatory redemption by the Corporation, nor shall any holder thereof have the right to require redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.

I-9

4.2 The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Corporation for cash on at least 30 but not more than 60 days’ notice at any time or from time to time as a whole or in part, except that the Series B Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to May 15, 1996. With respect to any such redemption, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the following redemption prices per share, together in each case with accrued but unpaid dividends to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on:


Year	Redemption Price Per Share of Convertible Preferred Stock
May 15, 1996	$	26.125
May 15, 1997		25.938
May 15, 1998		25.750
May 15, 1999		25.563
May 15, 2000		25.375
May 15, 2001		25.188
May 15, 2002 and thereafter		25.00

4.3 Notice of any redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not actually received. Such notice shall state: (i) the date fixed for redemption; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) that the holder has the right to convert such shares into Common Stock until the close of business on the redemption date; (iv) the then-effective conversion rate and the place where certificates for such shares may be surrendered for conversion; (v) if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder; (vi) the place where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (vii) that after such date fixed for redemption the shares to be redeemed shall not accrue dividends.

At the option of the Corporation, if notice of redemption is mailed as aforesaid, and if prior to the date fixed for redemption funds sufficient to pay in full the redemption price are deposited in trust, for the account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed, with a bank or trust company named in such notice doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and having capital surplus and undivided profits of at least $50 million (which bank or trust company also may be the transfer agent and/or paying agent for the Series B Preferred Stock) notwithstanding the fact that any certificate(s) for shares called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, on and after such date of deposit the shares represented thereby so called for redemption shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and all rights of the holders of such shares as shareholders of the Corporation shall cease, except the right of the holders thereof to convert such shares in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8 at any time prior to the close of business on the redemption date and the right of the holders thereof to receive out of the funds so deposited in trust the redemption price, without interest, upon such surrender of the certificate(s) representing such shares. Any funds so deposited with such bank or trust company in respect of shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted before the close of business on the redemption date shall be returned to the Corporation upon such conversion. Any funds so deposited with such bank or trust company which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of shares called for redemption at the end of two years after the redemption date shall be repaid to the Corporation, on demand, and thereafter the holder of any such shares shall look only to the Corporation for the payment, without interest, of the redemption price.

4.4 Any provision of this Section 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any quarterly dividend payable on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be in arrears and until all such dividends in arrears shall have been

I-10

paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Corporation shall not redeem any shares of Series B Preferred Stock unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series B Preferred Stock except in accordance with a purchase offer made by the Corporation on the same terms to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock.

4.5 If fewer than all the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select those to be redeemed by lot or on a pro rata basis or by any other method deemed by the Corporation to be equitable (with adjustments to avoid fractional shares).

4.6 Any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption has been given may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time before the close of business on the date fixed for the redemption as set forth in Section 8 below.

5. Status of Series B Preferred Stock repurchased or declassified.

Shares of Series B Preferred Stock repurchased or declassified as such by future resolution of the Board of Directors shall be deemed to be authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock exchanged for shares of any other class or series shall thereby be deemed to be cancelled and the number of shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue shall be correspondingly reduced.

6. Restrictions on certain action affecting Series B Preferred Stock.

6.1 So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the consent given in writing without a meeting or affirmative vote given in person or by proxy at a meeting called for the purpose, by the holders of at least 66-2/3 per cent of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any other series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking prior to (or issuable in series which may, by resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series, rank prior to), the Series B Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or (ii) amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or of this resolution so as to materially and adversely affect the preferences, special rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, or (iii) effect a merger or consolidation which would affect materially and adversely the preferences, special rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock or any outstanding series of preferred stock or any other capital of the Corporation, or the creation and issuance of other series of preferred stock including the Series B Preferred Stock, or of any other capital stock of the Corporation, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, special rights, privileges or voting powers.

6.2 The Corporation may not, without the consent or affirmative vote of holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding as described in Section 6.1, establish any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with, or authorize any other class of stock ranking on a parity with (or issuable in series which may, by resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series, rank on a parity with) the Series B Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both (“Parity Stock”), or increase the authorized number of shares of any such other class or series, unless the Articles of Incorporation or Designation Statement creating or authorizing such class or series provide that if in any case the stated dividends or amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up are not paid in full on the Series B Preferred Stock and all outstanding shares of Parity Stock, the shares of all Parity Stock shall share ratably in the payment of dividends, including accumulations (if any) in accordance with the sums which would be payable on all Parity Stock if all dividends in respect of all shares of Parity Stock were paid in full, and on any distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up ratably in accordance with the sums which would be payable in respect of all shares of Parity Stock if all sums payable were discharged in full.

I-11

7. Voting rights.

Except as set forth in section 6 or as otherwise from time to time expressly required by law, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote.

8. Conversion rights.

8.1 The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, at any time, to surrender shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for conversion into shares of common stock of the Corporation. Subject to the provisions set forth in this section 8, each share of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered hereunder shall be converted, as of the close of business on the date of such surrender, into 1.6026 shares of common stock subject to adjustment as described in Section 8.4 (the “Conversion Rate”).

8.2 In order to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Transfer Agent for the common stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at said office that he elects to convert the same or part thereof. The Corporation as soon as practicable thereafter will issue and deliver at said office to such holder a certificate for the number of full shares of common stock to which he shall be entitled hereunder; however, such holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such common stock at the time as of which such conversion takes place as aforesaid.

8.3 No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. Instead of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment, concurrently with issuance of the certificate for the full number of shares to which the holder is entitled, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable, and (ii) the current market price of the Corporation’s common stock on the date of conversion.

8.4 The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) In the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time fix a record date for the effectuation of a subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock or the determination of holders of common stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common stock (or payable in certain rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for common stock) at less than the current market price, then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution or subdivision if no record date is fixed) the Conversion Rate of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of common stock.

(b) If the number of shares of common stock outstanding at any time is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of common stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Rate for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of common stock.

(c) In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in the Corporation’s capital stock (other than common stock), evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation, assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions from retained earnings) or warrants or rights not referred to in section 8.4(a), then, in each such case for the purpose of this section, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of common stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

8.5 No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least .01 in the Conversion Rate then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

I-12

8.6 In the case of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and as a result of which holders of common stock shall be entitled to receive securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for such common stock, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in case of any reclassification or change in outstanding shares of common stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the common stock) there will be no adjustment of the Conversion Rate but the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation or merger, sale or conveyance or reclassification or change had such share been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation or sale or conveyance or reclassification or change. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of common stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) of an entity other than the successor or acquiring entity, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then the Corporation shall enter into an agreement with such other entity for the benefit of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock that shall contain such provisions to protect the interests of such holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

8.7 The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued common stock or out of shares of common stock held in its Treasury, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of common stock deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, increase the authorized amount of its common stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of common stock remaining unissued or available from Treasury shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

8.8 The Corporation will pay any and all issue taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of common stock on conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this section 8. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of common stock in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such change in registration has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

8.9 If any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be lawfully issued upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to obtain such registration or approval, as the case may be, but shall not be required to issue such shares until the requisite registration or approval has been obtained.

8.10 The Corporation reserves the right to make any adjustment in the Conversion Rate in addition to those required in the foregoing provisions as the Corporation in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that certain stock-related distributions hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable. Except as stated above, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing.

Upon conversion no adjustments will be made for accrued dividends and, therefore, shares of the Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any dividend payment record date and the opening of business on the corresponding dividend payment date (except shares called for redemption on a date during such period) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such dividend payment date.

8.11 In the case of any share of Series B Preferred Stock that is converted after any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock and on or prior to the date on which such dividend is payable by the Corporation (the “Dividend Due Date”) the dividend due on such Dividend Due Date shall be payable on such Dividend Due Date to the holder of record of such shares as of such preceding record date notwithstanding such conversion. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock next preceding any Dividend Due Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Due Date shall (except in the case of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been called for redemption on a redemption date within such period) be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the Corporation of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such Dividend Due Date on the share of Series B Preferred Stock being surrendered for conversion. The dividend with respect to a share of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption on a redemption date during the period from the close of business on any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock next preceding any Dividend Due Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Due Date shall be payable on such Dividend Due Date to the holder of record of such share on such dividend record date notwithstanding the conversion of such share of Series B Preferred Stock after such record date and prior to such Dividend Due Date, and the holder converting such share of Series B Preferred Stock need not include a payment of such dividend amount upon surrender of such share of Series B Preferred Stock for conversion. Except as provided in this paragraph, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any dividends accrued on shares of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on any dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion.

Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.

Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable on Designated Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations).

I-25

paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below) pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice, provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount; (ii) purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation transactions in Junior Stock or Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business; (iii) purchases by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation of capital stock of the Corporation for resale pursuant to an offering by the Corporation of such capital stock underwritten by such broker-dealer subsidiary; (iv) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan; (v) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; and (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock. “Share Dilution Amount” means the increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and as measured from the date of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Original Issue Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other. If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written notice to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.

I-26

any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

Section 4. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date of payment (such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”).

(b) Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 5. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. Except as provided below, the Designated Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. On or after the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of

I-27

Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided that (x) the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus the “Minimum Amount as defined in the relevant certificate of designations for each other outstanding series of preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Successor Preferred Stock ) in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate redemption price of the Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock) redeemed pursuant to this paragraph may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor).

The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

(b) No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Corporation or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Corporation, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or

I-28

trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).

Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

Section 7. Voting Rights.

(a) General. The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

(b) Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors (hereinafter the “Preferred Directors” and each a “Preferred Director”) to fill such newly created directorships at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Corporation to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Corporation may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

I-29

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Corporation to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.

(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.
