         This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration
Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the "Registration Statements"):

         Registration Statement No. 333-152859 registering 100,000 shares of CNB
Financial Corp. common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("CNB Financial Common
Stock") in connection with the CNB Financial Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan;
and

         Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 25,
2009, by and between United Financial Bancorp, Inc. and CNB Financial, CNB
Financial merged with and into United Financial with CNB Financial ceasing to
exist and United Financial continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger
became effective at 11:58 p.m. on November 30, 2009.

         Upon the closing of the merger, each outstanding share of CNB Financial
Common Stock was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the
shareholder, either $10.75 per share in cash or 0.8257 shares of United
Financial common stock, provided that the 50% of the CNB Financial Common Stock
would be converted into cash. All CNB Financial shareholder elections were
subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the merger
agreement. Shares of CNB Financial Common Stock are no longer quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board.

         As a result of the merger, CNB Financial has terminated all offerings
of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with the
undertaking made by CNB Financial in the Registration Statements to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of its securities being
registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the
termination of the offering, United Financial (as successor to CNB Financial)
hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and
deregisters any and all shares of CNB Financial Common Stock originally reserved
for issuance under the plans covered by the Registration Statements and
registered under the Registration statements, which remain unsold or unissued as
of the date hereof.
