Exhibit 99

2

This

presentation

contains

forward

looking

statements

within

the

meaning

of

the

Private

Securities

Litigation

Reform

Act

of

1995 giving

M&T’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements

are

typically

identified

by

words

such

as

“believe,”

“expect,”

“anticipate,”

“intend,”

“target,”

“estimate,”

“continue,”

“positions,”

“prospects”

or

“potential,”

by

future

conditional

verbs

such

as

“will,”

“would,”

“should,”

“could”

or

“may”,

or

by

variations

of

such words

or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which

change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no duty to update forward-

looking statements.

On August

27, 2012, M&T Bank Corporation, a New York corporation (“M&T”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the

“Merger Agreement”) with Hudson City Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hudson City”) and Wilmington Trust Corporation, a

Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T (“WTC”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and

subject to the conditions set forth therein, Hudson City will merge with and into WTC, with WTC continuing as the surviving entity (the

“Merger”). In addition to factors previously disclosed in M&T’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this filing, the

following factors among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical

performance: ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the Merger, including approval by M&T and

Hudson City shareholders, on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the Merger; difficulties and delays in integrating the

M&T and Hudson City businesses or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; business disruption following the Merger; changes

in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets;

inflation; customer acceptance of M&T products and services; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices;

customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive conditions; the inability

to realize cost savings or revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions

and divestitures; economic conditions; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and

other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect

actual results.

The Efficiency Ratio and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Earnings are non-GAAP financial measures.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-

GAAP financial measures is available in the appendix.  The Efficiency Ratio reflects non-interest expense (excluding

amortization expense associated with intangible assets and merger-related expenses) as a percentage of fully taxable

equivalent net interest income and non-interest revenues (excluding gains or losses from securities transactions and merger-

related gains). 

(2)

Excludes merger-related gains and expenses and amortization expense associated with intangible assets.

(3)

Preliminary estimates.  Capital ratio estimates are preliminary until Q3 2012 FRY9C report is filed.
