Conlon, Chief Financial Officer December 10, 1999 (740) 373-3155 PEOPLES BANCORP AUTHORIZES REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK ------------------------------------------------- MARIETTA, Ohio - The Board of Directors of Peoples Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: PEBO) yesterday adopted a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to 150,000 shares (or approximately 2.5% of the Company's outstanding common shares) from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The timing of the purchases and the actual number of common shares purchased will depend on market conditions. This stock repurchase program will be implemented at the Company's discretion and will expire December 31, 2000. Robert E. Evans, Peoples Bancorp's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This new repurchase plan reflects Peoples Bancorp's continued commitment to enhance shareholder value and effectively manage our capital levels. Under current conditions, the purchase of our outstanding shares is a better investment than other alternatives." Peoples Bancorp announced a 5% buyback program in April, 1999. To date, the Company has purchased 97% of the 315,000 shares authorized under that repurchase plan. The Company expects to complete the repurchase plan initiated in April, 1999, before December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company intends to continue the previously announced purchase of approximately 16,500 treasury shares per quarter for issuance in connection with Peoples Bancorp's stock option plans. The continuation of this 16,500 share quarterly repurchase program may be amended or eliminated in the future.
