Exhibit 99.2

WesBanco, Inc. Merger with Farmers Capital Bank Corporation

Key Points:

 

    The Board of Directors and I are excited about our merger with WesBanco, and becoming an integral part of its nearly 150-year history as a community bank.

 

    WesBanco’s solid execution on their operational and growth strategies has led to a strong track record of operating performance, merger success, and treating people the right way makes them an ideal partner for us.

 

    Through our partnership with WesBanco, we will be in a much stronger position to deliver additional value to our customers, employees, and shareholders as we maintain our commitment to the communities we serve.

 

    Strengthens WesBanco’s franchise by significantly expanding WesBanco’s existing franchise within Kentucky by bridging the gap between the Louisville-Southern Indiana market to the west, the Southwest Ohio market to the north, and the recently enhanced Southeast Ohio-Huntington, West Virginia market to the east.

 

    Ensures well-balanced loan and deposit distribution across WesBanco’s footprint as the merger greatly enhances the strength and balance in the state of Kentucky, which on a pro-forma basis will represent 19% of loans and 21% of deposits.

 

    Farmers’ commercial lending focus and solid trust business compliments WesBanco’s strengths and strategies.

 

    WesBanco’s larger balance sheet provides higher lending authorization abilities, while WesBanco’s lending approval process distributes authorizations throughout its markets to provide the ability for local decision-making.

 

    WesBanco’s strong wealth management business has been in operation for 100 years and manages $4 billion of trust assets, including $0.9 billion of proprietary mutual funds, the WesMark Funds.

 

    I will assume the role of WesBanco’s Chairman for the Central & Southern Kentucky market.

 

    In addition, all current Farmers board members will be appointed to the advisory board for the Central & Southern Kentucky market.

 

    Will provide a broader array of high quality banking products and services, including expanded commercial and mortgage lending capabilities, treasury management products, and trust and wealth management services that compliment ours.

 

    WesBanco Wealth Management: trusts & investments, private banking, insurance (personal, commercial, title, health, life), securities brokerage (sales, advisory)

 

    WesBanco Treasury Management: international services, foreign exchange, wire and lockbox capabilities, interest rate swap products
