Safe Harbor Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking information about National Penn Bancshares, Inc. (National Penn),
KNBT Bancorp, Inc. (KNBT), and the combined operations of National Penn and KNBT after the merger, that is
intended to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "expect," "may," "will,“
"should,'' "project," "plan,'' "seek,“ ”continue, "intend,'' or "anticipate'' or the negative thereof or comparable
terminology, and include discussions of strategy, financial projections and estimates and their underlying
assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of the transactions, and
statements about the future performance, operations, products and services of the companies and their
subsidiaries. National Penn and KNBT caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements.
National Penn’s and KNBT’s businesses and operations, as well as their combined business and operations
following the merger, are and will be subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Consequently,
their actual results and experience may materially differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and experience to differ from those
projected include, but are not limited to, the following: ineffectiveness of their business strategy due to changes in
current or future market conditions; the effects of competition, and of changes in laws and regulations on
competition, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services;
interest rate movements; inability to achieve merger-related synergies; difficulties in integrating distinct business
operations, including information technology difficulties; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to
maintain relationships with customers and employees, and challenges in establishing and maintaining operations
in new markets; volatilities in the securities markets; and deteriorating economic conditions.
The foregoing review of important factors should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and
risk factors included in National Penn’s and KNBT’s annual, quarterly and current reports and other filings with
the SEC. See the slides entitled “Additional Information About The National Penn/KNBT Transaction” included in
this presentation. Neither National Penn nor KNBT makes any commitment to publicly release any revision or
update to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date any forward
-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
