VIST Financial Corp. (the “Company”) announced that it has withdrawn its previously filed application to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) to participate in Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”), which was created as part of the Small Business Jobs Act enacted in September 2010.  The Company decided to withdraw the application after being notified by Treasury representatives that the Company’s application would not be approved.  Treasury did not advise the Company of any specific reason that its application would not be approved.  Robert D. Davis, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said “The SBLF was one of several alternatives being considered by the Company to supplement our existing capital levels to support our business and growth strategy.  Our decision to withdraw the application will not affect these strategies or adversely impact our capital levels, which currently exceed the amounts necessary to be considered ‘well capitalized.’”

The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company in light of new information or future events.
