 Effective Time, Zahid Afzal, Louis M. Altman, John L. Bookmyer and Lee J. Burdman, formerly directors of Premier Financial, were appointed to the Wesbanco board of directors. In connection with their service, Messrs. Afzal, Altman, Bookmyer and Burdman will receive compensation under Wesbanco’s standard director compensation program. Wesbanco’s director compensation program was most recently described in Wesbanco’s Definitive Proxy Statement for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2024.

It is contemplated that each of Messrs. Afzal, Altman, Bookmyer and Burdman may serve on certain committees of Wesbanco’s board of directors, subject to applicable director independence requirements, but no such committee appointments have been made at this time.

Other than as provided for in the Merger Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Afzal, Altman, Bookmyer and Burdman and any other person pursuant to which these directors were selected as directors.

Since the beginning of the last fiscal year, there have been no related party transactions between Wesbanco and Messrs. Afzal, Altman, Bookmyer and Burdman that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
