 forth in the prospectus supplement. If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, Webster or the selling securityholder will sell the offered securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer, who may be deemed to be an “underwriter” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell the offered securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. If an underwriter is, or underwriters are, used in the sale, Webster or a selling securityholder (if any) will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriters at the time of sale to the underwriters. The names of the underwriters will be set forth in the prospectus supplement, which will be used by the underwriter to make resales of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered to the public. In connection with the sale of offered securities, the underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation from Webster or the selling securityholder in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of offered securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may also sell offered securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. 38

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Webster or a selling securityholder will authorize underwriters, dealers or other persons to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase offered securities from Webster or a selling securityholder at the public offering price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date or dates. Institutions with which these contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. The obligations of any purchasers under any delayed delivery contract will not be subject to any conditions except that:

| • |     | the purchase of the offered securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the 
 jurisdiction to which the purchaser is subject, and                                                          |

| • |     | if the offered securities are also being sold to underwriters, Webster or a selling securityholder will have sold 
 to the underwriters the offered securities not sold for delayed delivery.                                         |

The underwriters, dealers and other persons will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts
