Safe Harbor Statement

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the investor presentation included as Exhibit 99 contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are identified by the fact they are not historical facts and may include discussions of the strategic plans and objectives or anticipated future performance and events of Peoples.

Peoples encourages readers of this Current Report on Form 8-K to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute targets of future performance. Further, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the investor presentation included as Exhibit 99 hereto should be read in conjunction with Peoples' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 ("Peoples' 2013 Form 10-K") and Current Report on Form 8-K issued on January 27, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) or at Peoples' website (www.peoplesbancorp.com).

Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements, which are not historical fact, involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Peoples' 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC under the section, "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A. As such, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the investor presentation included as Exhibit 99 hereto. Management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management's knowledge of Peoples' business and operations. Peoples disclaims any responsibility to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
