Exhibit Index Appears on Pages 14 through 16 Page 1 of 228 Pages PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. - ------------------ Introduction - ------------ Peoples Bancorp Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 1, 1980. The Company was merged, following Shareholder approval, into the Peoples Bancorp Inc., an Ohio corporation, effective April 6, 1993, pursuant to a reincorporation proceeding. Its principal business is to act as a multi-bank holding company. Its wholly-owned subsidiaries are The Peoples Banking and Trust Company, Marietta, Ohio ("Peoples Bank"), The First National Bank of Southeastern Ohio ("First National Bank") and The Northwest Territory Life Insurance Company, an Arizona corporation ("Northwest Territory"). At December 31, 1995, Peoples Bancorp Inc. (parent company only) had 31 full-time equivalent employees. The Peoples Banking and Trust Company - ------------------------------------- Peoples Bank was chartered as an Ohio banking corporation under its present name in Marietta, Ohio, in 1902. At December 31, 1995, it had assets of $468,804,000; deposits of $375,643,000; and net loans of $326,811,000. Peoples Bank is a full-service commercial bank. It provides checking accounts, NOW accounts, Super NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, time certificates of deposit, commercial loans, installment loans, commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans, credit cards, automatic teller machines, banking by phone, lease financing, corporate and personal trust services and safe deposit rental facilities. Peoples Bank also sells travelers checks, money orders and cashier's checks. Services are provided through ordinary walk-in offices, automated teller facilities called "SuperTeller", and automobile drive-in facilities called "Motor Bank". At December 31, 1995, the Trust Department of Peoples Bank held approximately $390 million (market value) in trust and custodial accounts apart from the assets of the Bank. With all of its offices located in Ohio, Peoples Bank serves principally Washington, Athens and Meigs Counties, together with portions of Hocking, Perry and Vinton Counties in Ohio and adjacent parts of Northern West Virginia. The business production office in Newark-Granville, Ohio, serves that immediate area in Licking County. Peoples Bank provides services to its customers at its principal banking office in downtown Marietta and through SuperTeller and other banking facilities. A full-service office, Motor Bank and SuperTeller are located at the Frontier Shopping Center in Marietta. Also, a full-service office and SuperTeller are located inside a grocery store at Pike and Acme Streets in Marietta. A full-service office, two Motor Banks and a SuperTeller are operated in Belpre, Ohio. Full-service offices with Motor Banks are located in Lowell, Reno and Nelsonville, Ohio. A full-service branch and SuperTeller are located at One North Court Street in downtown Athens, Ohio. A full-service office, Motor Bank and SuperTeller are located at the Athens Mall. Also, three SuperTeller machines are located on the campus of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. A full-service bank is located at Middleport, Ohio. On December 18, 1995, the Company announced that Peoples Bank had reached a definitive agreement to purchase three full-service banking offices from an unrelated financial institution. In the transaction, Peoples Bank will assume approximately $75 million in deposits. The offices are located in Gallipolis, Pomeroy, and Rutland, Ohio. The Gallipolis office is located downtown in Gallipolis and currently operates a full-service office, Motor Bank, and an automated teller machine. A full-service office and separate Motor Bank are located in downtown Pomeroy. An automated teller machine is also located in Pomeroy outside a local convenience store. The Rutland office is a full-service and Motor Bank facility. At December 31, 1995, Peoples Bank had 190 full-time equivalent employees. The First National Bank of Southeastern Ohio - -------------------------------------------- First National Bank is a national banking association chartered in 1900. It provides banking services and products that are substantially the same as those of Peoples Bank. First National Bank operates a commercial bank and Motor Bank at one location at 415 Main Street, Caldwell, Ohio. It also has a full-service office and Motor Bank on Marion Street in Chesterhill, Ohio. It also operates a full-service office on Kennebec Street, McConnelsville, Ohio. First National Bank's market area is comprised of Caldwell, Chesterhill, McConnelsville and the surrounding area in Noble and Morgan Counties, Ohio. At December 31, 1995, it had assets of $70,004,000, deposits of $54,077,000 and net loans of $45,993,000. At December 31, 1995, First National Bank had 29 full-time equivalent employees. First National Bank also operates two insurance agency subsidiaries, Northwest Territory Life Insurance Agency, Inc. and Northwest Territory Property & Casualty Insurance Agency, Inc. (the "Agencies"). The Agencies were created in compliance with federal regulations allowing insurance powers to national banks in communities with populations of 5,000 people or less. On December 22, 1995, each Agency received a Certificate of Qualification (license) to operate the Agency from the Ohio Department of Insurance, thereby allowing the Agencies the ability to engage in the insurance agency business, subject to the regulations of the Ohio Department of Insurance and the Comptroller of the Currency. These are the first insurance agencies in Ohio associated with a financial institution to receive licenses to conduct a broad-based insurance business. At December 31, 1995, the Agencies had 4 full-time equivalent employees. The Northwest Territory Life Insurance Company - ---------------------------------------------- Northwest Territory was organized under Arizona law in 1983 and was issued a Certificate of Authority to act as a reinsurance company by the State of Arizona on February 8, 1984. Northwest Territory reinsures credit life and disability insurance issued to customers of banking subsidiaries of the Company by the issuing insurance company. At November 30, 1995, Northwest Territory had total assets of $1,327,000 and had gross premium income of $244,000 in 1995, $238,000 in 1994 and $231,000 in 1993. Northwest Territory reinsures risks (currently not exceeding $15,000 per insured on a present value basis) within limits established by governmental regulations and management policy. Northwest Territory has no employees. Customers and Markets - --------------------- The Company's service area has a diverse economic structure. Principal industries in the area include metals, plastics and petrochemical manufacturing; oil, gas and coal production and related support industries. In addition, tourism, education and other service-related industries are important and growing industries. Consequently, the Company is not dependent upon any one industry segment for its business opportunities. Competition - ----------- The banking subsidiaries of the Company experience significant competition in attracting depositors and borrowers. Competition in lending activities comes principally from other commercial banks in the lending areas of the banks and, to a lesser extent, from savings associations, insurance companies, governmental agencies, credit unions, brokerage firms and pension funds. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rate and overall lending services. Competition for deposits comes from other commercial banks, savings associations, money market funds and credit unions as well as from insurance companies and brokerage firms. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, account liquidity, convenience of office location and overall financial condition. The Company believes that its size, overall banking services and financial condition place it in a favorable competitive position. Northwest Territory operates in the highly competitive industry of credit life and disability insurance. The principal methods of competition in the credit life and disability insurance industry are the availability of coverages and premium rates. The Company believes Northwest Territory has a competitive advantage due to the fact that the business of Northwest Territory is limited to the accepting of life and disability reinsurance ceded in part to Northwest Territory from the credit life and disability insurance purchased by loan customers of Peoples Bank and First National Bank. The Agencies operate in the extremely competitive life insurance and property and casualty insurance industries, due mostly to the large number of companies and agents located within the southeastern Ohio market. The Agencies intend to provide several insurance product options to consumers, including traditional life insurance and property and casualty insurance, as well as investments in mutual funds, variable and fixed annuities and securities. The Agencies' future competitive advantage will be based on their ability to provide products to consumers efficiently with sensitivity to customer service and cost price issues. Supervision and Regulation - -------------------------- The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. The Company is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, which restricts the activities of the Company and the acquisition by the Company of voting stock or assets of any bank, savings association or other company. The Company is also subject to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on transactions with affiliates, including any loans or extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities thereof and the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower; the issuance of guarantees, acceptances or letters of credit on behalf of the bank holding company and its subsidiaries; purchases or sales of securities or other assets; and the payment of money or furnishing of services to the bank holding company and other subsidiaries. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision of other property or services to a customer by the bank holding company or its subsidiaries. Bank holding companies are prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, acquisitions across state lines are limited to acquiring banks in those states specifically authorizing such interstate acquisitions. However, since September 1995, federal law has permitted interstate acquisitions of banks, if the bank acquired retains its separate charter. As a national bank, First National Bank is supervised and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency. As an Ohio state-chartered bank, Peoples Bank is supervised and regulated by the Ohio Division of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The deposits of First National Bank and Peoples Bank are insured by the FDIC and those entities are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. A subsidiary of a bank holding company can be liable to reimburse the FDIC if the FDIC incurs or anticipates a loss because of a default of another FDIC-insured subsidiary of the bank holding company or in connection with FDIC assistance provided to such subsidiary in danger of default. In addition, the holding company of any insured financial institution that submits a capital plan under the federal banking agencies' regulations on prompt corrective action, guarantees a portion of the institution's capital shortfall, as discussed below. Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and the State of Ohio affect the operations of Peoples Bank and First National Bank, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made and the interest that may be charged thereon, restrictions relating to investments and other activities, limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks, limitations on activities based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends, and limitations on branching. Pursuant to recent federal legislation, First National Bank may branch across state lines, if permitted by the law of the other state. In addition, effective June 1997, such interstate branching by First National Bank will be authorized, unless the law of the other state specifically prohibits the interstate branching authority granted by federal law. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and for state member banks, such as Peoples Bank and First National Bank. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating weighted-risk assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. The minimum ratio of total capital to weighted-risk assets (including certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least 4.0 percentage points is to be comprised of common stockholder's equity (including retained earnings but excluding treasury stock), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist, among other things, of mandatory convertible debt securities, a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of allowance for loan and lease losses. The Federal Reserve Board also imposes a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 4% for bank holding companies and state member banks that meet certain specified conditions, including no operational, financial or supervisory deficiencies and including having the highest regulatory rating. The minimum leverage ratio is 1.0 - 2.0% higher for other bank holding companies and state member banks based on their particular circumstances and risk profiles and those experiencing or anticipating significant growth. National bank subsidiaries, such as First National Bank, are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the Comptroller of the Currency, and state non-member bank subsidiaries, such as Peoples Bank, are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC. Under an outstanding proposal of the Comptroller and the FDIC to establish an interest rate risk component, First National Bank and Peoples Bank may be required to have additional capital if their interest rate risk exposure exceeds acceptable levels provided for in the regulation as when adopted. The Company and its subsidiaries currently satisfy all capital requirements. Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to federal and state regulatory authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC. The federal banking regulators have established regulations governing prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks. Under these regulations, institutions which become undercapitalized become subject to mandatory regulatory scrutiny and limitations, which increase as capital continues to decrease. Such institutions are also required to file capital plans with their primary federal regulator, and their holding companies must guarantee the capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at the time it becomes undercapitalized. The ability of a bank holding company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount of dividends which may be declared by its subsidiary banks and other subsidiaries. However, the Federal Reserve Board expects the Company to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, which may require it to retain capital for further investment in subsidiaries, rather than for dividends for shareholders of the Company. Peoples Bank and First National Bank may not pay dividends to the Company if, after paying such dividends, they would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio requirements. Peoples Bank and First National Bank must have the approval of their respective regulative authorities if a dividend in any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of the current year's net profits and the retained net profits for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus. First National Bank may not pay a dividend either in an amount greater than its net profits then on hand, after deducting its losses and bad debts, or if less than 1/10th of net profits for the preceding six months, for a quarterly or semi-annual dividend, or the preceding year, for an annual dividend, was transferred to surplus. Payment of dividends by the bank subsidiaries may be restricted at any time at the discretion of the regulatory authorities, if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking practice. These provisions could have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common shares. Northwest Territory is chartered by the State of Arizona and is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Arizona Department of Insurance. The powers of regulation and supervision of the Arizona Department of Insurance relate generally to such matters as minimum capitalization, the grant and revocation of certificates of authority to transact business, the nature of and limitations on investments, the maintenance of reserves, the form and content of required financial statements, reporting requirements and other matters pertaining to life and disability insurance companies. The Agencies are incorporated in the State of Ohio and licensed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, which regulates, supervises and has authority to examine the Agencies. Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions - --------------------------------------- The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings, and changes in the reserve requirements against bank deposits. These policies and regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans, as well as the interest rates paid on deposits and accounts. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to have significant effects in the future. In view of the changing conditions in the economy and the money markets and the activities of monetary and fiscal authorities, no definitive predictions can be made as to future changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit levels. Statistical Financial Information Regarding the Company - ------------------------------------------------------- The following listing of statistical financial information, which is included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "Company's 1995 Annual Report") and incorporated herein by reference, provides comparative data for the Company over the past three and five years, as appropriate. These tables should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries found at pages 35 through 43 and 14 through 29, respectively, of the Company's 1995 Annual Report.

Effect of Environmental Regulation - ---------------------------------- Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company believes that the nature of the operations of its subsidiaries has little, if any, environmental impact. The Company, therefore, anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future. The Company's subsidiaries may be required to make capital expenditures for environmental control facilities related to properties which they may acquire through foreclosure proceedings in the future; however, the amount of such capital expenditures, if any, is not currently determinable. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES - ------------------- The principal office of the Company and Peoples Bank is located at 138 Putnam Street, Marietta, Ohio. This location consists of a five-story, stone-block building and one other smaller building attached by interior corridors. In 1993, Peoples Bank completed construction of a five-story addition to its primary facility in downtown Marietta. Peoples Bank also owns several nearby vacant lots for parking and a nearby Motor Bank. Peoples Bank owns property on which three additional full-service and two additional Motor Banks are located, leases the land on which one full-service branch is located and leases its other full-service branch. Peoples Bank's business production office in Newark-Granville is also leased. Peoples Bank also owns a two-story, block building on the Public Square in Nelsonville, Ohio, an additional office in Nelsonville, together with an office consisting of a two-story concrete structure at One North Court Street, Athens, Ohio, and a brick full-service office in the Athens Mall. The building in the Mall is owned by Peoples Bank on leased real property. The office located in The Plains is operated under a lease which expires in June, 2001. First National Bank owns a three-story office building of brick and stone at 415 Main Street in Caldwell, Ohio, and a one-story masonry and brick building located on Marion Street in Chesterhill, Morgan County, Ohio, together with a two-story brick structure in McConnelsville, Morgan County, Ohio, located on Kennebec Street. The Agencies headquarters are also located in the Caldwell office of First National Bank. All other properties occupied by the Company and its subsidiaries are owned by the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries own other real property which, when considered in the aggregate, is not material to their operations. Management believes that all of the properties described above are in satisfactory condition for their intended use. ITEM 3.
