F.N.B. CORPORATION RECEIVES 2018 PRESIDENT'S “E” AWARD FOR EXPORT SERVICE
FNB to be Honored by Congressional and Senate Officials in Headquarters City

F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) and its largest subsidiary, First National Bank, have been honored with the 2018 President’s “E” Award for Export Service. The Company will receive Congressional and Senate citations for its achievement and positive impact on economic expansion and job growth at an event in Pittsburgh, PA, on June 11, 2018.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross presented FNB with the “E” Award at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 21, 2018. FNB was one of only two banks and 43 total companies and organizations across the country to be honored with the highest recognition any U.S. entity can receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports. The U.S. Commercial Service-Pittsburgh nominated FNB for the “E” Award.

“First National Bank has demonstrated a sustained commitment to export expansion. The “E” Awards Committee was very impressed with First National Bank’s strategic implementation and rapid deployment of a comprehensive strategy to increase its international finance portfolio. The bank’s case studies linking its clients’ employment growth to their corresponding growth in exports were also particularly notable. First National Bank’s achievements have undoubtedly contributed to national export expansion efforts that support the U.S. economy and create American jobs,” Secretary Ross said in his congratulatory letter to the Company announcing its selection as an award recipient.

The event in Pittsburgh will consist of remarks by Lyn Doverspike, Director of U.S. Commercial Service-Pittsburgh, followed by a presentation of Congressional and Senate citations. Additionally, FNB’s Head of International Banking Services, Yenner Karto, will provide a global market trade update and an educational overview of FNB’s robust international capabilities. 

“We are extremely proud to receive the “E” Award and to see our dedicated International Banking Services group recognized for the global opportunities and job growth they have made possible for our clients and communities,” said Vincent J. Delie, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of F.N.B. Corporation and First National Bank. “This honor reflects the successful efforts of Yenner Karto and his team to build out the differentiated capabilities necessary to ensure that our clients are successful in exporting their goods and services.”
