B say-on-pay proposal, “FOR” the CNB auditor ratification proposal and “FOR” the CNB adjournment proposal, respectively.

Brokers who hold shares of CNB common stock in “street name” for a customer who is the beneficial owner of those shares may not exercise voting authority on the customer’s shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals without specific instructions from the customer. Proxies submitted by a broker that do not exercise this voting authority are referred to as “broker non-votes.” It is expected that the CNB share issuance proposal, the election of the CNB director nominees, the CNB incentive plan proposal, the CNB say-on-pay proposal and the CNB adjournment proposal will be “non-routine” matters. If your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee holds your shares of CNB common stock in “street name,” such entity will vote your shares of CNB common stock on the CNB share issuance proposal, the election of the CNB director nominees, the CNB incentive plan proposal, the CNB say-on-pay proposal or the CNB adjournment proposal only if you provide instructions on how to vote by complying with the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The CNB auditor ratification proposal is considered a “routine” proposal and, as such, your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee is entitled to vote on the CNB auditor ratification proposal without your instructions.

Accordingly, you are urged to mark and return the enclosed proxy card to indicate your vote, or fill out the voter instruction form, if applicable.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker-non votes will have no effect on any of the proposals.

Proxy Solicitation

If you are a CNB shareholder, the enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the CNB Board of Directors. CNB will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies to be voted at the annual meeting, including any attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, except CNB and ESSA have each agreed to share equally the costs of filing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, CNB and its agents may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or in person. No additional compensation will be paid to directors,
