Vincent J. Delie, Jr. F.N.B. Corporation, President and Chief Executive Officer:
The expansion in Maryland has progressed successfully. In mid-February, the Baltimore County Savings Bank acquisition was completed with a seamless conversion and all operations integrated on day one. This provides significant scale in the market and positions F.N.B. with a top 10 deposit market share in the Baltimore MSA. We would like to, again, welcome BCSB shareholders, clients, and employees to F.N.B.
Earlier this month, we announced the pending acquisition of OBA Financial, a six-branch financial institution with 390 million in assets. This acquisition expands F.N.B. into the highly attractive I-270 corridor. This transaction is strategically sound, financially attractive, and has low execution risk. It provides additional scale in the market, and cost effectively leverages the leadership and infrastructure investment we have already made in Maryland. The credit mark was low at 3% given OBAs good asset quality, and cost savings are projected at 40% due to our existing presence. Our move into the DC area provides additional organic growth opportunities with over 4,500 commercial businesses with revenue in excess of 1 million in Montgomery County alone.
Consumer, wealth management, insurance, and private banking opportunities are also abundant as the area has one of the highest median household income levels in the nation. Financially, the transaction bolsters our capital levels and future EPS accretion. On a pro forma basis, F.N.B.s TCE ratio is expected to increase approximately 30 basis points and our tangible book value by 2.5%. F.N.B. will benefit from the 35 million additional capital without incurring any dilution in 2015 and beyond.

Combining this with the leverageable capital from the trust preferred sale, we have effectively added 45 million of capital which will be deployed to support future growth. This transaction is a positive event for F.N.B., and we now have a solid platform in the Maryland market. With the addition of OBA, we will have 1.4 billion in assets in Maryland, over 1 billion in deposits, and 31 banking locations, including a regional headquarters in downtown Baltimore. We have been extremely successful building out our teams in wealth, private banking, consumer and commercial banking. This is a meaningful presence established in less than one year and provides the scale to compete effectively.
The steady pace of our consolidation provided the opportunity to build an exceptional team of bankers with strong leadership and seamlessly deploy the F.N.B. business model and sales culture. Pricing metrics were favorable with all three transactions fairly priced in an average stated price-to-tangible book value of 1.4 times at announcement. These pricing metrics are arguably more cost effective than a single larger transaction. In addition, with an average credit mark of 5%, the underlying asset quality of the acquired books is solid and provides a lower risk platform to grow from. While each acquisition was small in scale relative to F.N.B., the combined effect provides us with significant potential.
Our strategy is also at work in the Cleveland market. We now have 31 locations in Eastern Ohio including the recently opened headquarters in downtown Cleveland. We have been very effective building out the team of banking and service professionals. Like Maryland, we are fully staffed, activity is brisk, and pipelines are healthy. At the end of the quarter, we completed our first Dodd-Frank stress testing submission. Over the past year, weve invested significant resources from both a talent and monetary perspective in order to develop our stress testing infrastructure. This was an enterprise-wide effort and an investment that will serve us well in the future. I would like to congratulate the team on another job well done.
The first quarter was a great start to the year. We continue to deliver strong operating results and successfully absorb earnings headwinds such as Durbin and the impact of Basel III related capital raise. We had a very successful integration and conversion of the BCSB franchise. In fact, the F.N.B. team was able to consolidate, convert, and integrate three financial institutions over the span of 10 months. This is an amazing accomplishment and a testament to the experience and skill of our management team.
F.N.B. also announced plans for the continued expansion of our footprint in attractive markets with a transaction that provides enhanced opportunities to move up market and deploy our deep product set while strengthening our capital position. Over the past six months, our capital levels have been significantly bolstered, and our TCE ratio of 6.8% represents the strongest operating level since 2003.
As a management team, we believe F.N.B.s current underlying fundamentals are exceptional, and we are well positioned to deploy our growth initiatives.

Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr. F.N.B. Corporation, Chief Financial Officer:
Finally, let me remind you that we communicated expectations for the OBA acquisition to be slightly dilutive initially, neutral in 2015, and accretive thereafter. With the close targeted for late in the third quarter, the fourth quarter will be impacted by approximately a penny per share due to the timing differential between the immediate share impact and the deployment of the capital.

Jason ODonnell Merion Capital Group:
In terms of theyour whole bank M&A strategy, given that your balance sheet here is pushing 15 billion in assets inclusive of the OBA deal, where is the asset floor at this point in terms of new acquisitions that youre willing to evaluate?
Vincent J. Delie, Jr. F.N.B. Corporation, President and Chief Executive Officer:
Well, the OBA transaction was smaller than what wed like to do, but because of the capital benefits, it was attractive to us. So, I would say, we still look at same range. It would be larger than that transaction, half a billion or greater. But, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, when you look at the three transactions that we completed in the Maryland market in aggregation, its a fairly, its a meaningful presence, and when you look at the price-to-tangible book, its fairly attractive.
So, weve been able to put those three smaller institutions together, and really were starting to see significant benefits as though we have acquired a larger institution. So, having the presence in the market, having the scale to compete is starting to play out as we anticipated in our strategy.
Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr. F.N.B. Corporation, Chief Financial Officer:
I would just add, we really dont have a hard line on it. Weve talked about a half a billion and up in the past. But, I think that when you look at the last three, two of them have been under thatAnnapolis and in OBAboth of them are kind of a little bit above that. I mean, the strategy of buying companies at this size, kind of folding it right into our sales culture and becoming part of the Company, I mean, its a lot of extra work, but its serving us very well; serving our shareholders well. So, well be opportunistic. The markets here in the capital made this one worth looking at for us and well continue to be opportunistic.
Vincent J. Delie, Jr. F.N.B. Corporation, President and Chief Executive Officer:
From a talent perspective, we have truly replicated what we have done in Pittsburgh, in Cleveland and in Baltimore. So, weve gone out and weve attracted people from much larger institutions that havethat are well connected, that have the sophistication necessary to deliver a deeper product set, and we retained the people that we feel can operate effectively in that sales culture, and really, it is really working exactly the way we anticipated. So, were very pleased with our ability to attract people and drive our sales culture.
