Dear Investor:


         F.N.B. Corporation has recently made a strategic decision to spin off
its Florida operations to its shareholders as a new company. The spin-off will
enable each company to focus solely on its geographic market, allow the
investment community to more easily value each business, and eliminate certain
costs associated with the centralized management of businesses operating in
different geographic markets.

         We are requesting your consent to amend the Indenture governing the
F.N.B. subordinated note that you hold to permit the spin-off. To provide a
consent, please take a moment to complete, sign and return the enclosed blue
Consent Form. You may return the Consent Form to us either by mail, in the
enclosed postage-paid return envelope, or by facsimile transmission to the
number shown on the Consent Form. If a sufficient amount of consents are not
received to amend the Indenture to permit the spin-off, F.N.B. plans to redeem
the notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

         We recommend that you carefully review the enclosed Consent
Solicitation Statement, which provides additional information about us, the
spin-off and our solicitation of consents to amend the Indenture.

         If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to
call Douglas J. Solock, Senior Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of our
Regency Finance Company subsidiary, at (724) 983-3525.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      /s/ Gary L. Tice

                         CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT

                           Solicitation of Consents to
                        Amend the Indenture Governing the
                    Subordinated Notes of F.N.B. Corporation



         This Consent Solicitation Statement and the accompanying Consent Form
are being furnished by F.N.B. Corporation (the "Company") to certain of the
holders of the Company's subordinated notes to solicit consents to the adoption
of a proposed amendment to the Indenture dated as of May 15, 1992 and amended as
of January 1, 1994, between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to which the notes were issued
(the "Indenture").

         As you may be aware, the Company is planning to spin off its Florida
operations to its shareholders through the distribution to its shareholders of a
newly formed company that will hold the Florida operations. Following the
spin-off, FNB and the newly formed company will be separate, unrelated
companies. The Company is soliciting your consent to amend the Indenture
governing the subordinated notes of the Company that you hold to permit the
spin-off (the "Amendment").

         Each of the outstanding series of notes under the Indenture will vote
separately on the Amendment. Approval of the Amendment by a series requires the
consent of holders of a majority of the principal amount of such series. The
Amendment provides that the spin-off will be permitted under the Indenture so
long as the Company redeems all notes of any series that does not consent to the
Amendment by the required majority vote. Accordingly, the Company plans to
redeem all notes of any series that do not consent to the Amendment.

         This document contains information regarding the proposed Amendment and
the consent solicitation. We urge you to read this document carefully.

         THE COMPANY REQUESTS THAT YOU PROMPTLY COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED
BLUE CONSENT FORM. Consents should be sent to Regency Finance Company at the
address set forth on the back cover of this Consent Solicitation Statement. You
are not being asked to and you should not tender or deliver your notes.





               This Consent Solicitation Statement is first being
                mailed to noteholders on or about October 3, 2003

                                   THE COMPANY

GENERAL

         F.N.B. Corporation (the "Company") was formed in 1974 and is a
financial services holding company headquartered in Naples, Florida. The Company
provides a broad range of financial services to its customers through its
banking and other financial services affiliates with offices in Florida,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee. The Company's main office is located at 2150
Goodlette Road North, Naples, Florida, 34102, and its telephone number is
1-800-262-7600. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $8.3 billion in
consolidated assets, $6.1 billion in total deposits and 189 full-service banking
offices.

         The Company provides a full range of financial services through its
subsidiaries, principally to consumers and small- to medium-size businesses in
its market areas. The Company's business strategy has been to focus primarily on
providing quality, community-based financial services adapted to the needs of
each of the markets it serves. The Company has emphasized its community
orientation by preserving local advisory boards of directors and by allowing
local management certain autonomy in decision-making, enabling them to respond
to customer requests more quickly and concentrate on transactions within its
market areas. While the Company has generally sought to preserve decision-making
at a local level, it has established centralized legal, loan review, accounting,
investment, audit, loan operations and data processing functions. The
centralization of these processes has enabled the Company to maintain consistent
quality of these functions and to achieve certain economies of scale.

         The Company's lending philosophy is to minimize credit losses by
following strict credit approval standards (which include independent analysis
of realizable collateral value), diversifying its loan portfolio by industry and
borrower and conducting ongoing review and management of its loan portfolio. The
Company is an active residential mortgage lender, and its commercial loans are
generally to established businesses within its market area. The Company does not
have a significant amount of construction loans and it has no highly leveraged
transaction loans.

         No material portion of the Company's deposits has been obtained from a
single or small group of customers, and the loss of any customer's deposits or a
small group of customers' deposits would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business. The majority of the deposits held by each of the
Company's bank subsidiaries have been generated within the respective
subsidiary's market area. As of June 30, 2003, the Company did not have any
brokered deposits.

         In addition to community banking and consumer finance activities, the
Company offers a full range of asset management, investment services, mutual
funds, annuities and a complete line of insurance products.

         As of June 30, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries had 2,178
full-time employees and 629 part-time employees.






         The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2003 for the
Company's principal subsidiaries, including the year established and location of
principal office for each.

OPERATIONS OF THE BANK SUBSIDIARIES

         The Company's bank subsidiaries offer services traditionally offered by

subsidiaries also offer various alternative investment products including mutual

         In addition, First National Trust Company provides a broad range of
personal and corporate fiduciary services, including the administration of
decedent and trust estates. As of June 30, 2003, the market value of
corporate-wide trust assets under management totaled $1.9 billion.

OPERATIONS OF THE CONSUMER FINANCE SUBSIDIARY

         The Company's consumer finance subsidiary, Regency Finance Company, is

OTHER SUBSIDIARIES

         The Company has four other subsidiaries, Penn-Ohio Life Insurance

Management Corporation ("FNMC"), and F.N.B. Building Corporation ("F.N.B.
Building"). Also, the Company's community bank subsidiaries and consumer finance

                                  THE SPIN-OFF

         On July 10, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
approved a plan to divide the Company into two separate public companies. The
plan will be consummated by spinning off the Florida operations of the Company,
including First National Bank of Florida, to the Company's shareholders through
a tax-free distribution. The spin-off is subject to regulatory approvals.
Following the spin-off, the Company will continue to own the current
Pennsylvania operations of the Company, including First National Bank of
Pennsylvania and Regency Finance Company. The Company presently expects to
complete the spin-off during January 2004. Following the spin-off, the notes
will continue to be the obligation of the Company, and the spun off company will
have no obligation with respect to the notes.

         The businesses to be spun off represented approximately 44.4% of the
Company's consolidated assets and 42.3% of the Company's consolidated net
interest income and non-interest income as of and for the six months ended June
30, 2003. For pro forma financial information of the Company reflecting the
spin-off, please see Appendix B hereto.

         The spin-off is not conditioned on the receipt of any specified level
of consents to the Amendment.


                                       3



                             THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

         Section 1007 of the Indenture generally prohibits the Company from
disposing of any of the Company's banking subsidiaries that has total assets in
an amount exceeding 15% of the total assets of all of the Company's banking
subsidiaries combined, unless the Company receives fair market value
consideration in connection with such disposition. In connection with the
spin-off, the Company will contribute to the company to be spun off all of the
capital stock of First National Bank of Florida, which had total assets
(including the assets of Southern Exchange Bank, which will be merged into First
National Bank of Florida prior to the spin-off) equal to 45.1% of the combined
total assets of all of the Company's banking subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003,
without receiving any consideration. Accordingly, the spin-off would constitute
a prohibited disposition of a banking subsidiary, and the Company is therefore
soliciting consents to amend the Indenture to permit the spin-off.

         The Amendment will be effected through the execution by the Company and
the Trustee of a Second Supplemental Indenture. The Second Supplemental
Indenture provides that the disposition of First National Bank of Florida will
not constitute a default under the Indenture so long as there are no outstanding
securities of any Non-Consenting Series on the date of the disposition of First
National Bank of Florida. The term "Non-Consenting Series" is defined as any
series of notes outstanding on the date of the execution of the Second
Supplemental Indenture (the "Amendment Date") as to which the holders of at
least a majority of the principal amount of such series outstanding on the
Amendment Date have not consented to the Amendment.

         In order to effect the spin-off without causing a default under the
Indenture, the Company plans to redeem, prior to the spin-off, all notes of any
Non-Consenting Series. As a result, if you hold notes of a security as to which
the Company does not receive the necessary consents to effect the Amendment,
your notes will be redeemed.

         The foregoing description of the Second Supplemental Indenture is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the exact language of the Second
Supplemental Indenture, which is set forth in Appendix A hereto.


                                       4



                            THE CONSENT SOLICITATION

         The Company is soliciting consents of certain of the holders of the
notes issued under the Indenture to effect the Amendment through the execution
of a Second Supplemental Indenture in the form set forth as Appendix A hereto.

         The Company may end the Consent Solicitation at any time prior to the
spin-off. The Company hopes to obtain consents to the Amendment from holders of
a majority of the principal amount (a "Majority Consent") of each series
outstanding under the Indenture (information regarding the specific series that
are outstanding appears below). If the Company obtains a Majority Consent of
each series, the Company will immediately end the consent solicitation, deliver
the consents and other required documentation to the Trustee, and execute the
Second Supplemental Indenture to effect the Amendment. In this event, the
Company may proceed with the spin-off without redeeming any notes.

         The Company may, however, decide to end the consent solicitation at a
time when a Majority Consent to the Amendment has been obtained from less than
all of the series of notes outstanding under the Indenture. In this event, the
Company will deliver the consents and other required information to the Trustee
and execute the Second Supplemental Indenture, but the spin-off will only be
permitted under the amended terms of the Indenture if the Company redeems all of
the notes of each Non-Consenting Series prior to the spin-off.

         The Company plans to redeem all notes of any Non-Consenting Series so
that the spin-off may be effected without causing a default under the Indenture.
The redemption will be effected as soon as practicable following the date of the
execution of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Company will mail a notice
of redemption to each holder of a Non-Consenting Series not later than 30 days
prior to the redemption date.

         Participation in the solicitation is voluntary and Holders should
carefully consider whether to consent. The Company is not offering to pay any
consideration to noteholders in exchange for providing a consent. Holders of
Notes are urged to consult their financial advisors in making their own decision
on what action to take.

         THE COMPANY REQUESTS THAT YOU CONSENT TO THE AMENDMENT BY PROMPTLY
COMPLETING AND MAILING THE ENCLOSED BLUE CONSENT FORM.

CONSENT PROCEDURES

         The Indenture provides that noteholders may take action at a meeting or
by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Company is soliciting written
consents to approve the proposed Indenture Amendment. Noteholders who desire to
consent to the proposed Amendment should so indicate by marking the appropriate
box on, and otherwise properly completing, and signing and dating, the enclosed
blue Consent Form and delivering it to Regency Finance Company, in accordance
with the instructions contained therein. If a box is not checked on the Consent
Form but the Consent Form is signed and dated, the tendering noteholder will be
deemed to have approved the execution by the Company of the Second Supplemental
Indenture.

         The giving of a consent will not affect your right to have your notes
redeemed. If you consent to the execution of the Second Supplemental Indenture,
your consent will be effective with respect to any notes purchased after the
date of your consent, subject to your right to revoke your consent at any time
prior to the Amendment being adopted.

         The Consent Form must be executed by a noteholder in the same manner as
such noteholder's name appears on the Note. If a Consent Form is signed by a
trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a
corporation or any other person acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such person should so indicate when signing.

         The record date for the consent solicitation will be the date the
consents are delivered to the Trustee and the Second Supplemental Indenture is
executed.

         All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, acceptance and
revocation of tendered Consent Forms will be resolved by the Company, whose
determination will be final and binding. The Company's interpretation of certain
terms and conditions of the solicitation will be final and binding. Unless
waived, any irregularities in connection with tenders of consents must be cured

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto of the Company, which are incorporated herein
by reference to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2002 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods
ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003. These reports are available via the
Internet as described under the caption "Where You Can Find Additional
Information." The pro forma consolidated income statements assume that the
spin-off of First National Bankshares of Florida, Inc., the Company's newly
formed subsidiary to which the Company will transfer its Florida operations,
occurred on January 1, 2002, and the pro forma consolidated balance sheet
assumes that the spin-off occurred on June 30, 2003.

         The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented
for informational purposes only and do not reflect the historical results of
operations or financial position of the Company or First National Bankshares of
Florida, Inc. The pro forma data also do not purport to project the financial
position or results of operations of the Company or First National Bankshares of
Florida, Inc. as of any future date or for any future period. Earnings per share
data is shown on a pro forma basis based upon an assumed distribution of one
share of First National Bankshares of Florida, Inc. common stock for every one
share of the Company's common stock outstanding.

         The pro forma adjustments to the historical condensed consolidated
statements of income and consolidated balance sheets are set forth below.
