Dear
«Salutation»:
Based upon ongoing analysis of fund
performance and expenses, as well as the availability of other funds, the
WesBanco, Inc. KSOP Plan and the WesBanco, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan will
be removing and replacing one of the Plan’s investment funds. In
addition, we are adding a Mid Cap Value Fund, a sector that was not previously
represented in the Plan. As a result of these changes, pursuant to
SEC rules, we are required to undergo a plan blackout period which imposes on
our directors and officers a similar blackout period in trading in WesBanco
common stock. Accordingly, I am providing you with written notice of
the upcoming blackout period during which you will be unable to directly or
indirectly, purchase, sell, or otherwise acquire or transfer shares of WesBanco
common stock.
The blackout period is expected to
begin at 4:00 p.m. on January 19, 2010 and continue through January 26,
2010. This period is normally part of our quarter-end blackout for
earnings, so it should not cause you any additional hardship. This notice is
being provided to you as required under Section 306(a)(1) of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation
BTR.
We appreciate your cooperation during
this process.
Please feel free to contact me or Jim
Gardill if you have any questions regarding the blackout period and John Moore
of our Human Resources Department if you have any questions concerning the
Plan.
Sincerely,
Paul M. Limbert
President & CEO
