| Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Amended Form 10-Q”) of Norwood Financial Corp (the “Company”) amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 7, 2020. The Company is filing this Amended Form 10-Q because the Original Form 10-Q inadvertently omitted the signatures of the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on the signature page to the Original Form 10-Q. As required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are included in this Amended Form 10-Q.Except as described above, no other amendments have been made to the Original Form 10-Q. This Amended Form 10-Q does not reflect events that occurred after the date of the Original Form 10-Q, and except as described above, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures contained in the Original Form 10-Q to reflect any events that occurred after the date of the Original Form 10-Q. | |
