CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES COUNTY NATIONAL BANK FILES FOR STATE CHARTER
Clearfield, Pennsylvania – October 20, 2006
William F. Falger, President & CEO of CNB Financial Corporation, announced today that County National Bank, its principal subsidiary, will file an application to convert from a national banking charter to a state banking charter during the next week. Following the conversion, which is anticipated by year end 2006, the Bank will change its name to CNB Bank. The Bank will continue to operate its Erie based banking division under the name of ERIEBANK.
The primary purpose for this change in charter is to provide the Bank greater flexibility in executing its ongoing strategy of growth and expansion. In addition, the Bank will enjoy significant annual cost savings going forward.
“The Corporation established that a change in charters will facilitate the Bank in continuing to achieve the level of financial performance necessary to provide the appropriate rate of return to shareholders in order to maintain long-term independence,” Mr. Falger went on to say, “This is the number one goal of the Bank.”
CNB Financial Corporation is a $774 million bank holding company headquartered in Clearfield, PA. It conducts business primarily through County National Bank whose market area includes twenty-one convenient office locations in seven counties of Pennsylvania.
