Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective November 30, 2012, WesBanco, Inc. (“WesBanco”) completed its previously announced merger with Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. (“Fidelity”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 19, 2012, by and among WesBanco, WesBanco Bank, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of WesBanco (“WesBanco Bank”), Fidelity and Fidelity Savings Bank, a Pennsylvania state-chartered stock savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity (“Fidelity Savings Bank”) (the “Merger Agreement”), Fidelity was merged with and into WesBanco, with WesBanco continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Fidelity common stock, par value $0.01 (other than shares held by Fidelity), was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.8275 shares of WesBanco common stock, par value $2.0833 per share (“WesBanco Common Stock”) and (ii) $4.50 in cash, without interest.

Immediately following the completion of the Merger, Fidelity Savings Bank was merged with and into WesBanco Bank, with WesBanco Bank surviving the merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 2.1.

Disclosure of the transaction discussed in Item 2.01 is made voluntarily and the Registrant does not believe that this transaction is an acquisition deemed to involve a significant amount of assets as defined in the Instructions to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K and therefore does not require disclosure.

Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Repayment by WesBanco of Fidelity TARP Obligations to U.S. Treasury

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that unless earlier purchased by WesBanco or redeemed by Fidelity, each outstanding share of the Fixed Rate, Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B of Fidelity (the “Fidelity Preferred Stock”) issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) is to convert into the right to receive one share of WesBanco preferred stock with rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers and limitations and restrictions that are not materially less favorable as a whole than those of the Fidelity Preferred Stock. The Merger Agreement also provides that the warrant issued by Fidelity to the Treasury (the “Fidelity Warrant”) in connection with the issuance of the Fidelity Preferred Stock will convert into a warrant to purchase shares of WesBanco Common Stock, on substantially the same terms, subject to adjustments to the exercise price and number of shares underlying the warrant to give effect to the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.

On November 30, 2012, in conjunction with the Merger, WesBanco repurchased the 7,000 shares of outstanding Fidelity Preferred Stock from the Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7 million.

Upon effectiveness of the Merger on November 30, 2012, the Fidelity Warrant was converted into a 10-year warrant (the “WesBanco Warrant”) to purchase up to 100,448 shares of WesBanco Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $10.45 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The foregoing transaction was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the WesBanco Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the WesBanco Warrant, which are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively.

Description of WesBanco Warrant

The WesBanco Warrant is immediately exercisable. The WesBanco Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of WesBanco Common Stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of WesBanco Common Stock, and upon certain issuances of WesBanco Common Stock at or below a specified price relative to the then-current market price of WesBanco Common Stock. The WesBanco Warrant expires on November 30, 2022.

The foregoing description of the WesBanco Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the WesBanco Warrant, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 4.1.


Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) On November 30, 2012, Richard G. Spencer, the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Fidelity, was appointed to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WesBanco, effective immediately following the consummation of the Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Separately, in connection with the Merger, Mr. Spencer and WesBanco entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated December 3, 2012 (the “Consulting Agreement”), and Mr. Spencer, WesBanco, Fidelity and Fidelity Savings Bank entered into a Separation Agreement and Release and Waiver of Claims, dated December 3, 2012 (the “Separation Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Spencer agreed to provide consulting services to WesBanco for a period of three years.  Mr. Spencer’s compensation for these consulting services was set at $64,333 per year.  In addition, Mr. Spencer will not receive a retainer fee for his service on the WesBanco Board but will receive meeting attendance fees.

Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, on December 3, 2012 Mr. Spencer received from WesBanco lump sum cash payments in the amounts of (i) $460,821, which represented a change in control payment under his employment agreement with Fidelity; and (ii) $58,561.20, which represented a portion of the continuation payments for country club dues, group life insurance benefits, supplemental medical insurance, long-term disability benefits, ESOP benefits and 401(k) plan benefits.  In addition, Mr. Spencer will be entitled to receive the remaining portion of continuation benefits in 12 monthly installments in the amount of $2,440.05 per month beginning in December 2014.  The Separation Agreement also provides monthly payments in the amount of $6,007.50 for 180 months under Mr. Spencer’s salary continuation agreement with Fidelity, with the first seven months to be paid in a lump sum of $42,052.50 in June 2013.  WesBanco also agreed to pay the premiums for health care coverage for Mr. Spencer and his spouse through December 3, 2015.  In consideration, Mr. Spencer provided a general release of claims.

The foregoing descriptions of the Consulting Agreement and the Separation Agreement contained in this Item 5.02 do not purport to be complete descriptions and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each of the Consulting Agreement and the Separation Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 30, 2012, WesBanco issued a press release announcing the closing of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 and the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of WesBanco.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial statements of businesses acquired. Disclosure of the transaction discussed in Item 2.01 is made voluntarily and the Registrant does not believe that this transaction is an acquisition deemed to involve a significant amount of assets as defined in the Instructions to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K and therefore does not require disclosure.

Section 3. Exercise of Warrant; Term.  Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time or from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Warrant by the Company on the date hereof, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiration Time”), by (a) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of the Company located at the address set forth in Item 7 of Schedule A hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and (b) payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased:
 
(i) by having the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered to the Warrantholder upon such exercise, shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant equal in value to the aggregate Exercise Price as to which this Warrant is so exercised based on the Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day on which this Warrant is exercised and the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company pursuant to this Section 3, or
 
(ii) with the consent of both the Company and the Warrantholder, by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.
 
If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised.  Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.
 
Section 4. Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing.  Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed three business days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.  The Company hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith).  The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time.  The Company will (a) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and (b) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance.  The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded.
 
Section 5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such fractional share.
 
Section 6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books.  This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof.  The Company will at no time close its transfer books against transfer of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
Section 7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.
 
Section 8. Transfer/Assignment.  (a)  Subject to compliance with clause (b) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Company described in Section 3.  All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company.
 
(b) The transfer of the Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchase Agreement.  If and for so long as required by the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant shall contain the legends as set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
 
Section 9. Exchange and Registry of Warrant.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or warrants of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares.  The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant.  This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
 
Section 10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
 
Section 11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day.
 
Section 12. Rule 144 Information.  The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Warrantholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such further action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.  Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver to such Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such requirements.
 
Section 13. Adjustments and Other Rights.  The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in duplication:
 
(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations.  If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date.  In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
 
(b) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities.  Until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible securities”) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a transaction to which subsection (a) of this Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities) then, in such event:
 
(i) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) (the “Initial Number”) shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible securities); and
 
(ii) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (i) above.
 
For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock; and “Permitted Transactions” shall mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related assets, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of Directors, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company or its affiliates pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent with capital raising transactions by comparable financial institutions and (iv) in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on terms existing as of the Issue Date.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13(b) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.
 
(c) Other Distributions.  In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(a)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.  In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend.  In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
 
(d) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock.  In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase.  In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to this Section 13(D).
 
(e) Business Combinations.  In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(a)), the Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the Warrantholder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph.  In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election).
 
(f) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments.  All calculations under this Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be.  Any provision of this Section 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.
 
(g) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments.  In any case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
 
(h) [Intentionally Omitted].
 
(i) Other Events.  For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or any portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 13 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.  The Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in the event of a change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company.
 
(j) Statement Regarding Adjustments.  Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 13, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.
 
(k) Notice of Adjustment Event.  In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 13(J), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place.  Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.  In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
 
(l) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment.  As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13.
 
(m) Adjustment Rules.  Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur.  If an adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of the Common Stock.
 
Section 14. Exchange.  At any time following the date on which the shares of Common Stock of the Company are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other than in connection with any Business Combination), the Original Warrantholder may cause the Company to exchange all or a portion of this Warrant for an economic interest (to be determined by the Original Warrantholder after consultation with the Company) of the Company classified as permanent equity under U.S. GAAP having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the portion of the Warrant so exchanged.  The Original Warrantholder shall calculate any Fair Market Value required to be calculated pursuant to this Section 14, which shall not be subject to the Appraisal Procedure.
 
Section 15. No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder.
 
Section 16. Governing Law.  This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.  Each of the Company and the Warrantholder agrees (a) to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) that notice may be served upon the Company at the address in Section 20 below and upon the Warrantholder at the address for the Warrantholder set forth in the registry maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Warrantholder hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding relating to the Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
 
Section 17. Binding Effect.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.
 
Section 18. Amendments.  This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.
 
Section 19. Prohibited Actions.  The Company agrees that it will not take any action which would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter.
 
Section 20. Notices.  Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on the second business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier service.  All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in Item 8 of Schedule A hereto, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.
 
Section 21. Entire Agreement.  This Warrant, the forms attached hereto and Schedule A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), and the Letter Agreement (including all documents incorporated therein), contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or undertakings with respect thereto.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT


THIS AGREEMENT, made this 3rd day of December, 2012, by and between WESBANCO, INC., a West Virginia corporation, party of the first part (hereinafter called “Wesbanco”), and RICHARD G. SPENCER, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, party of the second part (hereinafter called “Consultant”).
WHEREAS, the Consultant has heretofore served as the Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. (“Fidelity”) for a significant number of years and in that capacity has established significant contacts and relationships with customers of Fidelity and its banking subsidiary, as well as with banking institutions in markets served by Fidelity and Wesbanco, and
WHEREAS, Fidelity and Wesbanco, and their wholly owned banking subsidiaries, have executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated the 19th day of July, 2012, providing for the acquisition of Fidelity by Wesbanco and the merger of Fidelity’s banking subsidiary with and into the banking subsidiary of Wesbanco, and
WHEREAS, Consultant will retire as an executive officer as of the date of such merger but will be appointed to the Board of Directors of Wesbanco to serve for a full three (3) year term subject to approval of the shareholders of Wesbanco, and
WHEREAS, Wesbanco desires to retain the services of Consultant after his retirement, as hereinafter set forth, and in connection with the continuing activities of Wesbanco, to be assured of his services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and
WHEREAS, Consultant is willing to provide such services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH:  That for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1.           CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP.  Wesbanco hereby retains Consultant to render services (as hereinafter defined) as may be requested from time to time by the Board of Directors, Executive Committee or President of Wesbanco.  Consultant hereby agrees to render such services for the compensation herein provided, agrees to be available at such times and in such places as are mutually agreeable and with reasonable notice, and agrees to give his best efforts to such services so long as they shall be required hereunder.
2.           COMPENSATION.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Consultant shall be paid for services rendered at a fixed rate of Sixty-four Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-three Dollars ($64,333.00) per year or, specifically Five Thousand Three Hundred Sixty-one Dollars and Eleven Cents ($5,361.11) per month during the term of this Agreement, payable monthly throughout the term of this Agreement.  In addition, Consultant shall be entitled to be reimbursed his reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred in connection with the services to be performed hereunder.  Consultant shall also be paid additional attendance fees as a member of the Board of Directors of Wesbanco for meetings attended in accordance with the policies for payment of Directors’ fees by such corporation.  No quarterly retainer fee shall be paid to Consultant as a member of the Board of Directors.
3.           TERM.  The term of this Consulting Agreement shall be for a term of three (3) years from and after the date hereof, and shall terminate on the third anniversary thereof.
4.           SERVICES.  The services to be provided by Consultant hereunder shall consist of such advice and services as may be requested from time to time by the Board of Directors, Executive Committee or President of Wesbanco in connection with the present and future corporate activities of Wesbanco.  It is anticipated that Consultant shall assist Wesbanco and its management in maintaining the key customer relationships Consultant established while serving as the CEO of Fidelity, and that Consultant shall assist Wesbanco in pursuing merger and acquisition candidates for expansion purposes.  It is anticipated that Consultant shall provide services to Wesbanco up to twenty (20) hours per month.
5.           CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Without the prior written consent of Wesbanco, Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge to any person, or use for his own benefit, any confidential information concerning the business, affairs, customers or acquisition candidates of Wesbanco, acquired by him during his previous employment with Fidelity or during the performance of his duties hereunder, it being the intent of Wesbanco and Consultant to restrict Consultant from disseminating or using any information which is unpublished and not readily available to the general public.
6.           DELEGATION OF DUTIES, ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS, AND AMENDMENT.  Consultant may not delegate the performance of any of his obligations or duties except as to such duties as may be performed by employees of the holding company or its affiliate banks in the ordinary course of their duties, nor assign any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Wesbanco.  Any such purported delegation or assignment in the absence of such written consent shall be void.  This Consulting Agreement cannot be altered or otherwise amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

8.           MEMBERSHIP ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.  In connection with the Consultant’s continuing service to Wesbanco, Consultant shall be appointed to a position as a member of the Board of Directors of Wesbanco to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders of Wesbanco on April 17, 2013.  Wesbanco shall also include Consultant on the list of nominees for which Wesbanco’s Board of Directors shall solicit proxies at such meeting for a full three (3) year term.
9.           INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that Consultant shall perform services hereunder as an independent contractor and the consulting arrangement hereunder shall not constitute an employment relationship, nor shall Consultant be considered an employee of Wesbanco for any purpose.
10.           TERMINATION.  In the event of the death or permanent disability of Consultant during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.  Permanent disability shall mean the inability of Consultant to provide services hereunder for a continuing period of twelve (12) consecutive months, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 3rd day of  December, 2012, by and between FIDELITY BANCORP, INC. (hereinafter referred to as “Fidelity”), FIDELITY BANK, PaSB (hereinafter referred to as “Bank”), RICHARD G.

WHEREAS, Fidelity, Bank, WesBanco and WesBanco Bank, Inc. have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 19, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”) which provides for the merger of Bank with and into Wesbanco Bank, Inc.

WHEELING, WV – November 30, 2012 – WesBanco, Inc. (“WesBanco”) (Nasdaq:WSBC), a multi-state bank holding company headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia and Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. (“Fidelity”) (Nasdaq:FSBI), headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, jointly announced today the consummation of WesBanco’s acquisition of Fidelity and the election of a director and senior officers.  James C. Gardill, Chairman of the Board, and Paul M. Limbert, President & CEO, of WesBanco and Christopher S. Green, Chairman of the Board, and Richard G. Spencer, President & CEO, of Fidelity, made the joint announcement.

The merger, which was previously announced on July 19, 2012 was approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies, and was approved on November 27, 2012 by the shareholders of Fidelity.  Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Fidelity’s shareholders will receive 0.8275 shares of WesBanco common stock and $4.50 in cash for each share of Fidelity common stock held.  As a result of the merger, WesBanco will add Richard G. Spencer to its board from the board of Fidelity.  Two members of the Fidelity management team have been elected to new positions with WesBanco.  Michael A. Mooney has been elected Market President of WesBanco’s Western Pennsylvania Market and Anthony F. Rocco has been elected Senior Vice President, Community Banking of WesBanco’s Western Pennsylvania Market.

Mr. Mooney joined Fidelity in 1991 as Vice President of Lending and most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer. He began his career in banking in 1977 at Equibank in Pittsburgh as a Management Trainee and later held the positions of Branch Manager, Commercial Loan Specialist and District Manager.  In 1985, Mr. Mooney joined Pittsburgh-based Landmark Savings Bank as a District Manager, later held the position of Vice President Marketing, Communications and Investor Relations and held the title of Vice President and Senior Community Banking Officer prior to joining Fidelity.  Mr. Mooney earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State University, graduated from the ABA Stonier School of Banking in 2001 and resides in Economy Boro, Pennsylvania with his wife.  He and his wife are the parents of three children.

As Market President, Mr. Mooney will work with WesBanco’s western Pennsylvania market lenders and banking centers to expand and enhance WesBanco’s market presence in the region.

Mr. Rocco joined Fidelity in 1994 as Vice President of Community Banking and Security Officer.  He was promoted to Senior Vice President in 1997 and in addition to his primary responsibilities for business development, he established the Bank’s investment and insurance programs while managing multiple support functions.  Prior to joining Fidelity, Mr. Rocco was employed by Landmark Savings Bank where he began as a Management Trainee in 1983, later became a Branch Manager and Assistant Vice President - District Manager and held the position of Branch Manager after Landmark was acquired by Integra Bank in 1992.  Mr. Rocco earned a Bachelor of Science degree and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and received honors recognition in completing the Pennsylvania Bankers Association Advanced School of Banking at Bucknell University. Mr. Rocco resides in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania with his wife.  He and his wife are the parents of three children.

"We have expanded our franchise into another attractive market that is the home to a number of Fortune 500 companies and we look forward to business opportunities in western Pennsylvania. Our resources combined with those of Fidelity allow us to compete for larger commercial and retail transactions and to offer expanded trust and wealth-related services to another major metropolitan area. We look forward to competing for business through our model that maintains the community bank orientation that we feel differentiates us from many regional competitors.  Continuity in service and leadership has always been a hallmark of WesBanco’s acquisition strategy. We are pleased to announce that Mr. Mooney and Mr. Rocco will join us and continue to serve our customers in western Pennsylvania.  Fidelity employees have provided excellent service to their customers and we intend to build upon their tradition of excellence," Mr. Limbert said.

"WesBanco's vision for the future fit extremely well with our own business plan and our desire to maintain our strong reputation and community standing. WesBanco's extensive experience in trusts and investments, commercial lending and technologically-advanced banking systems were important factors in determining the merger potential of the combined organization," said Richard G. Spencer, Fidelity President & CEO.

It is anticipated that Fidelity’s name will be changed to WesBanco in mid-February, 2013, in conjunction with the expected data processing conversion.  Subsequent to the conversion date, Fidelity customers will continue to conduct their regular banking transactions at Fidelity’s banking locations as it will maintain all of the existing branch offices of Fidelity.  WesBanco’s partnership with STARsf/Allpoint ATM Network will provide WesBanco ATM/Debit card in more than 43,000 ATMs worldwide - surcharge free.
