On February 9, 2026, Univest Financial Corporation (the "Company") extended the expiration date for its offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of its outstanding 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the "Old Notes") that were issued in an unregistered offering on November 6, 2025 for newly issued 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes due 2035 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("New Notes"), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the definitive prospectus relating to the Exchange Offer (the "Prospectus") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The expiration date for the Exchange Offer was previously 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on February 9, 2026 and will now be 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on February 11, 2026, unless further extended. Holders who tender Old Notes prior to such time will receive New Notes. Other than the extension of the expiration date described herein, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer remain as set forth in the Prospectus.

UMB Bank, N.A. ("UMB Bank") is acting as the exchange agent in connection with the Exchange Offer. Holders of the Old Notes may contact UMB Bank at (713) 300-0589 with questions they may have regarding the Exchange Offer. Security holders should direct questions, requests for assistance and requests for copies of the Prospectus to UMB Bank.

#### IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFER
