WesBanco Announces the Election of Edward M. George as Chairman of the Board

Wheeling, WV. Paul M. Limbert, President & CEO of WesBanco, Inc., a Wheeling, West Virginia based multi-state bank holding company, today announced that Edward M. George, Vice Chairman of the Board of WesBanco, Inc., has been elected by the WesBanco Board of Directors as Chairman of the Board of WesBanco, Inc. He succeeds James C. Gardill, who submitted his resignation as Chairman and member of WesBanco, Inc.’s Board of Directors, as well as a member of various subsidiary boards of WesBanco effective August 31, 2003.

Mr. George, former President & CEO of WesBanco, Inc., retired as President on August 8, 2001 but continued as a member of the Board of Directors. At the time of his retirement, Mr. George was elected to the position of Vice Chairman of WesBanco, Inc. Mr. George had served as President and CEO of WesBanco, Inc. from January 1, 1993 until his retirement and had served as President & CEO of WesBanco Bank, Inc. since January 14, 2000.

Mr. George began his employment with WesBanco in 1983 when he was elected Vice President of Wheeling Dollar Bank, the predecessor to WesBanco Bank, Inc. During his term as President of WesBanco, Inc., the company expanded from a $1 billion asset holding company with $1 billion in trust assets under management to a company three times that size. WesBanco’s financial performance and the growth of WesBanco through acquisition under Mr. George’s leadership was instrumental in positioning WesBanco as a leader in the financial services industry.

WesBanco is a multi-state bank holding company presently operating through 72 banking offices and 105 ATM machines in West Virginia, Central and Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. WesBanco is the second largest bank holding company headquartered in West Virginia with the third overall deposit market share.
