      and Pending Sale of Oak Hill’s Bank Loans**





***WHEELING,
      WEST VIRGINIA, and JACKSON, OHIO, November 19, 2007***– WesBanco,
      Inc. (Nasdaq:  WSBC) (“WesBanco”) and Oak Hill Financial, Inc.
      (Nasdaq:  OAKF) (“Oak Hill”) jointly announced today shareholder
      approval of WesBanco’s acquisition of Oak Hill.  James C. Gardill,
      Chairman of the Board and Paul M. Limbert, President & CEO of WesBanco, and
      John D. Kidd, Chairman of the Board, and Ralph E. Coffman, Jr., President &
CEO of Oak Hill, made the joint announcement.





The
      merger, which was previously announced on July 20, 2007 and recently approved
      by
      both the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Division of Financial
      Institutions of the State of Ohio, was approved on November 16, 2007 by the
      shareholders of both WesBanco, Inc. and Oak Hill Financial, Inc. in separate
      meetings.  The merger is scheduled to be consummated on November 30,
      2007, subject to customary closing conditions.  Under the terms of the
      Agreement and Plan of Merger, WesBanco will exchange a combination of its common
      stock and cash for Oak Hill common stock.





Upon
      consummation, the combination of the two banking companies will create a bank
      with approximately $5.3 billion in total assets providing banking services
      through 114 locations and 152 ATMs in three states.





As
      a
      result of the merger, joining the WesBanco Board of Directors as of November
      30,
      2007 will be Oak Hill Directors John D. Kidd, Donald P. Wood, D. Bruce Knox
      and
      Neil S. Strawser.  Mr. Kidd, who was Chairman of the Board of Oak
      Hill, will serve as Vice Chairman of the WesBanco Board.




Oak
      Hill
      shareholders wishing to make an election regarding the consideration they would
      like to receive for their Oak Hill shares must deliver to Computershare Trust
      Co., Inc., the exchange agent, properly completed Election Forms and Letters
      of
      Transmittal, together with their stock certificates or properly completed
      notices of guaranteed delivery, by 5:00 P.M., E.S.T., on Tuesday,
      November 27, 2007, the election deadline. Oak Hill shareholders may elect
      cash, shares of WesBanco common stock or a combination of the two for their
      Oak
      Hill shares. All elections are subject to adjustment to ensure that 90% of
      the
      outstanding shares of Oak Hill common stock will be converted into the right
      to
      receive shares of WesBanco common stock, and the remaining shares of Oak Hill
      common stock will be converted into the right to receive cash. As a result,
      an
      Oak Hill shareholder may not receive the exact form of consideration elected,
      and the ability of an Oak Hill shareholder to receive the form of consideration
      elected will depend on the elections made by other Oak Hill
      shareholders.








**New
      Markets Tax Credit Allocation**





Oak
      Hill
      Financial, Inc. also announced that Oak Hill Banks Community Development Corp.
      (OHBCDC), a wholly owned subsidiary, has been selected for the second time
      to
      receive allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC). Administered by the
      Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of
      the
      Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community
      development and job creation in low-income communities.  The program
      provides tax credits to investors who make qualified equity investments in
      privately managed investment vehicles called “community development entities”
(CDEs).





In
      Oak
      Hill’s case, the company’s primary subsidiary, Oak Hill Banks, will invest up to
      $40 million in OHBCDC.  In return, Oak Hill Banks will be eligible to
      earn tax credits equal to 39% of the amount invested, or approximately $15.6
      million, over the next seven years.





OHBCDC
      will utilize its NMTC allocation to provide loans to businesses located in
      eleven Appalachian counties in rural southern Ohio.  It will also
      provide financial counseling as part of the lending process and through a formal
      program of community business workshops.  The NMTC allocation will
      allow OHBCDC to provide short-term and long-term loans to a variety of
      businesses.





**Pending
      Sale of Oak Hill’s Bank Loans**





In
      connection with the merger of Oak Hill Banks into WesBanco, Oak Hill agreed
      to
      use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into contracts for the sale of
      approximately $50 million of loans and other non-performing
      assets.  It is anticipated that this condition will be met and
      substantial progress has been made in achieving the sale of the identified
      loans.
