Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 15, 2011, F.N.B. Corporation (“FNB”), the parent company of First National Bank of Pennsylvania (“FNB Bank”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Parkvale Financial Corporation (“Parkvale”), the parent company of Parkvale Savings Bank (“Parkvale Savings”), pursuant to which Parkvale will merge with and into FNB (the “Merger”). Promptly following consummation of the Merger, it is expected that Parkvale Savings will merge with and into FNB Bank (the “Bank Merger”).

     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Parkvale will receive 2.178 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of FNB common stock for each share of common stock they own. The Merger Agreement also provides that all options to purchase Parkvale stock which are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the closing (“Continuing Options”) shall be converted into fully vested and exercisable options to purchase shares of FNB common stock, as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio.

     The Merger Agreement provides that each outstanding share of Parkvale’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Parkvale TARP Preferred”), unless repurchased or redeemed prior to the Merger, will be converted into the right to receive one share of FNB preferred stock with substantially the same rights, powers and preferences as the Parkvale TARP Preferred. The outstanding warrant (the “Parkvale TARP Warrant”) to purchase Parkvale common stock, which was issued on December 23, 2008 to the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) will be converted into a warrant to purchase FNB common stock, subject to appropriate adjustments to reflect the Exchange Ratio. Subject to the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals, the parties have agreed to use their best efforts to have the Parkvale TARP Preferred either purchased by FNB or one of its subsidiaries, in which case it is expected to be extinguished upon consummation of the Merger, or repurchased or redeemed by Parkvale. The FNB also may elect to have the Parkvale TARP Warrant is also expected to bepurchased, redeemed or repurchased or redeemed prior to or upon consummation of the Merger.

     At the closing of the Merger, FNB will expand the size of its Board of Directors by one member and appoint Mr. Robert J. McCarthy, Jr., Parkvale’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as a director of FNB. In addition, the FNB Bank Board of Directors also will be increased by one at the closing of the Merger and another mutually agreed upon member of the Board of Directors of Parkvale or Parkvale Savings will be appointed to such position.

     The Merger Agreement contains (a) customary representations and warranties of Parkvale and FNB, including, among others, with respect to corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority, third party and governmental consents and approvals, financial statements, and compliance with applicable laws, (b) covenants of Parkvale and FNB to conduct their respective business in the ordinary course until the Merger is completed; and (c) covenants of Parkvale and FNB not to take certain actions during such period. Parkvale has also agreed not to (i) solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or (ii) subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any proposals for alternative business combination transactions.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, approval of the Merger by shareholders of Parkvale, governmental filings and regulatory approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods, accuracy of specified representations and warranties of the other party, effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by FNB with the SEC to register shares of FNB common stock to be offered to Parkvale shareholders, absence of a material adverse effect, receipt of tax opinions, and the absence of any injunctions or other legal restraints.

     The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for Parkvale and FNB, as the case may be, applicable upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, including: final, non-appealable denial of required regulatory approvals or injunction prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; if, subject to certain conditions, the Merger has not been completed by April 30, 2012; a breach by the other party that is not or cannot be cured within 30 days if such breach would result in a failure of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement; Parkvale’s shareholders failing to approve the transaction by the required vote; entry by the Board of Directors of Parkvale into an alternative business combination transaction pursuant to a superior proposal, as defined; or the failure by the Board of Directors of Parkvale to recommend the Merger to its shareholders. If the Merger is not consummated under certain circumstances, Parkvale has agreed to pay FNB a termination fee of $6.0 million.

     The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such document, which will be filed by amendment as Exhibit 2.1.
