PRESS RELEASE

- CLEVELAND, OH

First National Bank, the largest subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB), has announced plans to establish a regional headquarters in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. FNB recently signed a lease to acquire space in a prominent office building located at 55 Public Square. The First National Bank office, which is expected to open by the start of the fourth quarter 2013, represents FNB’s initial move into downtown Cleveland and provides opportunity for future expansion. The announcement follows recent regulatory approval of F.N.B. Corporation’s pending acquisition of Solon, Ohio-based PVF Capital Corp., parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank, which has 16 offices in the greater Cleveland area.

“We continue to make progress toward completing our acquisition of Park View,” notes Vincent J. Delie, Jr., President and CEO, F.N.B. Corporation. “We’re also excited about the opportunity to establish operations in Cleveland’s central business district, an indication of our commitment to the Cleveland business community.”

First National Bank’s new Cleveland office will bring together experienced local professionals from commercial and retail banking, wealth management and private banking. According to Delie, FNB will continue to tap the highly skilled workforce present in the greater Cleveland area to support continued growth. The 55 Public Square Office will include a full-service branch on the building’s first floor, creating a convenient banking option for local businesses and busy professionals.

First National Bank’s existing deposit market share in the greater Cleveland metropolitan statistical area is expected to reach a top fifteen spot following the completion of the pending Park View acquisition. The transaction, which is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter 2013, will create a network of more than 25 First National Bank offices in Northeast Ohio.

First National Bank, with more than $12 billion in assets, was founded in Northwestern Pennsylvania nearly 150 years ago. Since then, the Bank has expanded its reach, delivering comprehensive financial services to 46 counties across Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. First National Bank’s new Cleveland regional office will provide area businesses and busy professionals with one-stop comprehensive financial services. The Bank’s array of sophisticated financial solutions has recently been enhanced by leading-edge advances in online banking, bill pay and mobile banking services.

First National Bank’s new Cleveland headquarters building is owned by Optima 55 Public Square LLC. In addition to the first floor branch, First National Bank will occupy space on the building’s 14th floor.
