CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication contains certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, certain plans, expectations, goals,

that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as expect, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate, plan, target, goal, or similar

statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause

the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, as well as those involving the OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and CFPB; the possibility that the
anticipated benefits of the merger with FirstMerit Corporation are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of,
or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the
areas where we do business; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential adverse
reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the completion of the merger with FirstMerit
Corporation; our ability to complete the integration of FirstMerit Corporation successfully; and other factors that may affect our future
results. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in our Annual Report on

Footprint Economic Indicators
Leading indicators signal optimism for 2017
Sources: US Bureau of Labor Statistics; Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
• According to the Philadelphia FRB coincident economic indicator, economic activity in
Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana has grown faster than the U.S. in the economic recovery-to-date.
• Economic activity growth is expected to grow on par with the U.S. in most of the Huntington
footprint states; per capita disposable personal income growth should remain solid as it has
for the recovery overall; Goods producing sectors should benefit from expected
improvements in the international economy in 2017; Vehicle sales are expected to edge down
after 2 superlative sales years, with the mix shifting towards larger vehicles.
• Unemployment Rates have been at or near 15 year lows in most footprint states. Solid
housing markets provided home price growth in all 8 Huntington footprint states for 3
consecutive years.
