Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Due to the ongoing public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak(COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of our employees and shareholders, notice is hereby given that the location of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of First Commonwealth Financial Corporation has been changed. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a registered shareholder as of the close of business on March 2, 2020, the record date, or hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee if you are the beneficial owner of common shares held in “street name”.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we strongly encourage you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
