Reviewing Incumbent Candidates . On an annual basis, the Nominating Committee also reviews incumbent candidates for re-nomination to the Board. This review involves an analysis of the criteria set forth above that apply to incumbent directors.

Recommending Candidates . The Nominating Committee recommends a slate of candidates for the Board of Directors to submit for election by the Corporation’s stockholders at the annual stockholders meeting. This slate of candidates may include both incumbent and new nominees. In addition, apart from this annual process, the Nominating Committee may, in accordance with the Bylaws, recommend that the Board elect new members of the Board to fill vacancies who will serve until the next annual stockholders meeting.

Stockholder Nominations Submitted to the Nominating Committee. Stockholders may also submit names of director candidates to the Nominating Committee for its consideration. The same evaluation procedures apply to all candidates for director nomination, including candidates submitted by stockholders. The process for stockholders to use in submitting suggestions to the Nominating Committee is by written recommendation addressed to the Corporate Secretary, in care of the Corporation at One Bank Plaza, Wheeling, WV 26003. The recommendation must include, among other information, biographical information about the nominee, share ownership of the nominee, business experience of the nominee and the name, address and number of shares owned by the stockholder submitting the request. The Nominating Committee will review and evaluate candidates submitted by stockholders in the same manner that it reviews and evaluates candidates identified by the Nominating Committee. For more information on stockholder nominations, please see the section entitled “Stockholders Intending to Nominate Candidates for Election to Board of Directors Must Give Notice to Corporation” on page68.
