CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING
Clearfield, Pennsylvania - Tuesday, April 19, 2005
CNB Financial Corporation shareholders and County National Bank each held separate annual meetings on April 19, 2005.
In the CNB Financial Corporation meeting, five incumbent directors were re-seated for a term of three years, or until attaining age 70. They were: William F. Falger, James J. Leitzinger, Jeffrey S. Powell, Peter F. Smith and James B. Ryan. These directors were elected to serve the board until the Annual Meeting in the year 2008.
The following Corporation directors retained their positions but were not standing for election this year: Robert E. Brown, Michael F. Lezzer, Dennis L. Merrey, James P. Moore, William R. Owens and Deborah Dick Pontzer.
Chairman, William R. Owens, conducted the meeting. He called upon William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNB Financial Corporation and County National Bank, to address the shareholders. Mr. Falger thanked those present and welcomed them to the meeting. He then focused the audience’s attention on a presentation that featured year 2004 results on the firm’s growth patterns, earnings per share, which is expected to continue in a positive trend, and resulting dividends.
Mr. Falger offered his comments regarding the performance of the Bank since the last Annual Shareholder’s Meeting in 2004 and the objectives for the remainder of 2005, stating that the focus would be to maximize profitability while continuing to grow assets.
Loan Production Offices in Johnstown and Warren have produced $63 million and $11 million in loans, respectively.
Successful events during the past year include the expansion of the Corporation’s product and service offerings through CNB Wealth Management Services, which complement the previously offered annuities products. The renovation of Philipsburg’s Presqueisle Street office and Osceola Mills offices also reinforce the Corporation’s commitment to continued customer service enhancements. Enhanced ebanking services offer consumers more options with epay, ebills and online check images and the commercial customers the choice between standard access or full-service cash management capabilities.
This year, the Bank has already undergone the relocation of the St. Marys in-store office from inside BiLo to a full-service office located in Fox Township, in a high-traffic area in front of the St. Marys Wal-Mart. Also launched this year, a new Business Checking Product line, to include a Positively Free Small Business Checking package and a Business Check Card.
Mr. Falger presented the Bank’s objectives for 2005, which include continuing to grow market share and establishing a strong consumer lending presence within areas served by its branch network, putting a strong emphasis on small business core banking products and commercial relationships, annuities and wealth management services. In addition, the Bank will continue to enhance brand identity and image, establish a customer relationship driven service and sales process, and take advantage of
expansion and acquisition opportunities in larger markets, which could be announced within 90 days. Mr. Falger completed his remarks with plans to open the full-service office in Warren later this year.
In the Corporation’s reorganizational meeting, the Board appointed Michael F. Lezzer and Joseph B. Bower, Jr. as Class 3 directors to serve until the annual meeting in 2006. The following corporation officers were named: William F. Falger, President and Chief Executive Officer; Joseph B. Bower, Jr., Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer; and Donald E. Shawley, Assistant Secretary. Peter F. Smith was retained as counsel.
The County National Bank annual meeting then followed with the twelve incumbent bank directors re-elected for the ensuing year. They are Joseph B. Bower, Jr., Robert E. Brown, William F. Falger, James J. Leitzinger, Michael F. Lezzer, Dennis L. Merrey, James P. Moore, William R. Owens, Deborah Dick Pontzer, Jeffrey S. Powell, James B. Ryan and Peter F. Smith.
